AZIWORLD is a user-friendly tool for generating azimuthal maps of the Earth centered on any location. Compatible with Windows XP and later, it supports English and French. Maps can be saved in .bmp format for easy customization. AZIWORLD computes azimuths, distances, and geographical positions, integrating seamlessly with AZIPOINT for automatic antenna pointing. Linux/Ubuntu/Android users can run AZIWORLD via WINE or CROSSOVER. For optimal functionality, installing AZIPOINT alongside AZIWORLD is recommended.

This Satellite Antenna Elevation System project involves mounting horizontally polarized Yagi antennas on a fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) crossboom. A Yaesu G-800DXA azimuth rotator is in place, requiring only an elevation rotation system. Elevation is controlled by a 12VDC linear actuator connected to a U-bolted arm on the crossboom, rotating within a DIY bearing arrangement. Common handyman tools suffice for assembly. The setup includes FRP crossboom, aluminum tubing, PVC couplers, nylon camshaft bushes, and a K3NG-based controller for azimuth and elevation control. Detailed guides and resources are available online.
