In general you will need a 3.0 Degree elevation above the horizon for reasonable levels of reception.
Below this and you will find that the signal will degrade quickly and willgenerally be unstable dependent upon the ground noise at your location and also that of any obstuctions in line of sight to the satellite that you wish to recieve.
In summer periods the level of signal fading will be more pronouced due to increase in noise levels both from the ground and atmospheric conditions
