Those are the standard. I think there is one single sector site where that varies, but am not certain.

Sorry, I phrased that part poorly.  Are all sectors aligned at 0/120/240 when present, or do they deviate from those bearings?

Is there anywhere that has EIRP info?  I'm trying to see how tall a mast I need to get connected, and whether or not I can even make link for some of the sites.  For example it looks like I "only" need a 35' mast for Baldi, but at 28mi away I'm not sure I can get connected reliably, vs Beacon or Capitol Park which are much closer but I'd need at least a 66' mast thanks to local terrain and trees.
