I climbed back up the ladder to do some fine tuning (thanks for the advice here)Luckily I could remotely view my computer with my cell phone thus saving me the cost of a divorce attorney had I asked my wife to help me when she gets home from work.

These are my results, I can do more but for now, how do they look?

tx-signal-strength-ch0: -67dBm

signal-to-noise: 57dB
tx-ccq: 88%

Funny things is that thee are about where I started. Elevation is the more difficult adjustment with the brackets provided. I may end up modifying those.
