I'm afraid most of the replies above are missing the point. The
correct direction for your antenna may, in fact, not be the same as
for your neighbour - which is why all the antennas in your street are
not all pointing in the same direction.

Of course. But the original point I made was that you have to start
somewhere - inside a loft it is difficult to know a good starting point.
So, use of the bearing, as I did, gives one an initial direction to
point the thing. After that, it takes only one brain cell to realise
that you adjust it for maximum signal strength and minimum gosting, etc.
