Thanks for the photos, Bob. I appreciate the extra effort that it took. I can see clearly how to make the adjustment.

If the notch sits on the bolt, then the angle doesn't shift.

I see the upward tilt of your antennas, but it looks like the slot isn't long enough to have the boom horizontal with no tilt. Maybe a little tilt is a good idea. It helped with my 4-bay bowtie antenna tests, even when I had a clear LOS path over water from the transmitters.
Rabbit,

I forgot to mention that I was able to get the antenna level when I first installed it. I think my adjustment is between the first slot and the adjustment limit. In other words, my adjustment isn't locked into an adjustment groove. In the pictures, the flat washer covers the end of the adjustment in both antennas.

Same with the HDB91X. I tilted them a little because of the distant trees.

These two antennas have quite a bit of tilt when adjusted all the way.

What about that car? Looks like someone is serious about checking signals.

Thanks, Bob
