1. A system for communicating signals, the system comprising:
- a cell site;
an antenna tower located at the cell site and operable to receive a first calibration signal from a first location and a second calibration signal from a second location, to determine an adjustment angle from the first calibration signal and the second calibration signal, and to adjust a subscriber beam in elevation to reduce cell site interference using the adjustment angle.

Abstract
An antenna tower receives a first calibration signal and a second calibration signal. The antenna tower determines an adjustment angle from the first calibration signal and the second calibration signal, and uses the adjustment angle to adjust a subscriber beam in elevation to reduce cell site interference.
