Camper in next campsite needs help in sat alignment

Where are you camping? Near sea level? Many people have problems with sea level locations. Raising the elevation more then they recommend helps. Although I have a smart phone nothing really beats a compass and signal strength meter. I use the compass on my smart phone because it isn't metal sensitive. My DW mixes drinks while I set up the manual dish. She beats me but not by much. Takes all of 5 minutes.
