[QUOTE="Topper, post: 134457, member: 186250"] [size=2]Lines of longitude are measured from the Greenwich meridian at longitude zero degrees. Thus around the rest of the earth are lines of longitude similar to the segments of an orange. In total they add up to 360 degrees. Thus the further east from Greenwich you go the value of degrees East increases. So 38 degrees East is on a segment line which passes through Ethiopia, Thus a beam spreading out from there to the North would be nowhere near the UK. If you have a decent PC why not download Google earth it provides a good understanding of how all this relates together. As you can see [url="http://www.paksat.com.pk/eirp_C2.htm"]here[/url] the "beam" or footprint goes nowhere near the UK. As regards C band equipment some people have the equipment so it must be possible to buy it perhaps someone else can help there [/size] [/QUOTE]
