Or if that's too involved, you could (Heeheehee) just hold off until you go to a contest, such as USIC. Then, find Bill Gowen and ask to see his digital Flitetork. Then just attach your hook to his hook and slowly twist your unit, keeping it alligned with Bill's. Make pencil marks on your dial according how his reads.

(Actually that's almost as involved as calibrating from scratch.)
