I have a 1 Mtr Orbital fixed dish system that i rotate by hand to pick-up various satelittes. So far i have managed to find 28.2E, 19E, 13E, and 1W.
But no way can i find 30W......
There is a mains eletricity supply cable (well, 3 cables actually) running at about 70 degrees inclination from where the dish is pointed (when its 30W), Do you think this might be interfering with the signal from the satelitte? It could be that the signal is coming right between the 3 cables and therefore i am unable to receive it.... Or it might just be that i am not pointing at the right place in the heavens !!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone tell me what the vertical setting should be on the orbital dish for 30W please? I assume it will be about the same as 28.2E, but lower than 1W,
Any help appreciated, I've been out all afternoon with a signal meter and freezing cold hands!!!! By the way, my coordinates are 51N and 1.20E
Thanx
