I used to use the telescope-thing to a signal-strength-meter located 1/4 mile away from my antennas.
It was always hit-and-miss [the Field-strength-meter was strapped to a 100-foot-high ash-tree and if there was any wind the telescope only saw it for a desperately-small period]
These days I have a field-strength-meter half a mile away, with an old iPhone closely aimed at it. I can call it and switch to video-call mode when I want a strength-reading.
Isn't technology wonderful !
