[QUOTE="AForester, post: 82083, member: 181748"] I see from one of your previous posts that you are from Manchester. {Before you do any adjustments mark the present position of your dish on it's pole and the elevation on the scale so that you can come back to your original position.} at that location; 19east is approx 154degrees Az and 26degrees El. 42east is approx 129degrees AZ and 17degrees EL. Consequently, as you are at present on 19east, you will need to (from the rear of the dish) swing to the left by 25degrees and drop the dish elevation by 9degrees. A good strong channel on that bird is CNN Turk on 11804V, 24444, 5/6 Remember move small amounts and let your receiver try for a lock before another small movement. (10 seconds or so) If you use a magnetic compass the magnetic North Pole is not the same as the true North Pole position and do not get your compass too near to steel object as you will get a false reading. If you are useing a 50mm support pole, 25 degrees is 10.9mm measured round its circumference. [/QUOTE]
