Claim:
1. A directional-antenna-placement visual aid for a directional antenna having a directional-signal pattern and an antenna-mounting surface having a known angular relationship to the directional-signal pattern, comprising: a positioning bar having an antenna-matching surface adapted to match the antenna-mounting surface; at least one laser-light projector attached with a rotatable connector to said positioning bar in fixable positions corresponding to the directional-signal pattern; said laser-light projector projecting at least one line of laser light corresponding to at least one boundary of the directional-signal pattern; said laser-light projector comprising a laser-light emitter mounted in an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve mountable on said inner sleeve in adjustable positions allowing adjustment of the line of laser light to correspond to the directional signal pattern by blocking adjustable portions of the line of laser light; where said laser-light projector fixed to said positioning bar in relation to said antenna-matching surface, when matched to the antenna-mounting surface, casts a visual representation of at least one boundary of the directional-signal pattern, allowing immediate visual identification of the directional-signal pattern for alignment and confirmation of the placement of the antenna, and where said outer sleeve and inner sleeve further comprise matching threaded portions for said adjustment of the line of laser light to correspond to the directional signal pattern by blocking adjustable portions of the line of laser light.
