[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 97312, member: 176912"] Not sure about your elevation without looking it up, but it's probably not far off for your due south satellite. The dish unfortunately does not just move 'side to side' but tracks an arc in the sky with the highest point at due south, and lowering in the sky to the east and west of that. The geometry to perform that awkward movement is built into the motor itself, but satellites at say 65 degrees east and west would be close to the horizon. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... :( STICK [/QUOTE]
