We had to do some considerable rebuilding on the P-band dipole for
EA01. It was an old spare unit not used in years. While it has the
alignment target on the bottom plate, I don't recall if I checked how
closely it was aligned to the dipole elements. It is possible to mount
that plate with a 2-3 degree offset between the target cross-hairs and
the elements. Would that be a factor here? Is that used for the
subreflector indexing? If so, we can drop the dipole and check the
alignment of the target.
