If th pole is not plumb, then your elevation would be wrong and your azimuth would be wrong.

So you would have to compensate for the amount the pole is out of plumb on your elevation. Lets say the pole is leaning forward by approx 3 deg. Then you will have to add that 3 deg to the elevation for your area.

With a compass you will only approximate the Azumuth (magnetic). So you will need to move slight amounts to left or right to get a quality reading in green and then maximize the Q by adjusting the elevation slightly in either direction up or down.
