Hi,

Have a read of this excellent guide:-

http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...or-others.html

It explains everything.

You would set the system up on the satellite nearest to you due south, which may be 5W or 8W depending on what your longitude is.

Good Luck!

The most important thing is to get the pole perfectly vertical.
