The invention relates to a method for aiming an antenna, in which method the antenna (A1, A2) is installed in a desired position in order to aim the antenna (A1, A2) at a target (A1, A2) for the reception, transmission or reception and transmission of radio signals. According to the invention, the direction (LOS) of the target (A1, A2) for selecting the position of the antenna (A1, A2) is determined using an optical
sight (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5). Further according to the invention the
sight (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) is fitted in a predetermined position with respect to the position of the antenna (A1, A2) to be aimed, and the
sight (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) is aimed at the target (A1, A2) in order to determine at the same time the position of said antenna (A1, A2).
