Abstract

A bracket assembly for fixedly mounting an RF antenna to a support structure while permitting azimuth adjustment comprising a first bracket member adapted for fixed securance to the support structure and having a forwardly extending plate defining a first bolt hole and a spaced away arcuate slot defined by a radius of curvature about the center of the first bolt hole. A second bracket member mounted to the first bracket member and adapted for mounting an antenna, the second bracket member providing second and third bolt holes; whereby when the first and second fasteners are loose, the second bolt may move along the length of the arcuate slot to adjust the angular relationship of the bracket members and when the fasteners are tightened, the angular relationship of the bracket members is fixed.
