Hi Aaron

Unfortunately I live in Mt Martha, near Melbourne.

The jig makes sure everything is aligned, leading to better tracking accuracy. I made a platform with simple routed circle segments. It worked but was only accurate for a short period. However, if you have limited tools, then go for it.

We probably should be careful with the term VNS. I used it earlier but in the Southern Hemisphere it is a vertical south sector (VSS).

There is a description of vertical sector design in the files section of the yahoo group I referenced earlier. Or you can have a look here:

Or here:
