The fun part of course at least for me was explaining to the surveyor 
how to determine what is the front of the antenna.

With the Shively antenna it's fairly easy since they can line up the 
vertical elements exactly in the center of the mounting pole on the 
correct azimuth.

Keep in mind you need to certify that everything is mounted exactly as 
specified in the drawings that were provided by the manufacture. Any 
deviation from that makes the entire installation invalid.
