[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1078854, member: 178786"] [USER=414352]@megarain[/USER] If you simply ask for guidance on the equipment needed to view 46.0 East and 68.5 East in the C-Band frequency range from your location in South Africa then there are quite a few members on this site that might able to help you.
