[BC] GPS for Proofing (WAS:dBm, dBc, dBd)

[Alan Alsobrook]

With the GPS V I've surprised myself as to some of the things I could do 
with it if I thought about it.
One I did was when I was out installing Sirius TR sites I hit a site 
Wilmington De, where the building was drawn on the blue prints at the 
wrong angle. This would have resulted in the sector antennas being 
placed improperly and interfering with another site. I did 4 or 5 
walking trips down the edge of the building to confirm my thoughts 
(which they did) and then went back and did averaged locations (100 or 
so measurements) on the corners of the building. With all the data in 
hand I was able to properly reorient the antennas for the coverage 
desired. Had to do a bunch of explaining when the antennas didn't look 
right in the pictures in the daily report though!! :)
