I built a node from one of the old DISH 500 satellite dishes with a bi-quad antenna for 2.4 Ghz.  What is a good way of aligning the dish?  I've been trying to come up with ideas for a jig to help but want to see if that wheel has already been invented.

My simplest was to afix a plastic rod at the proper angle of dangle so to help point it.
