[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1113210, member: 178786"] As a generalisation, raising the dish in a built up area would hopefully improve the arc. However, it depends on the nature and proximity of any obstacles to your line of sight as to the level of improvement. As suggested by "jeallen01", pictures of the line of sight would help. You can use the dishpointer app with the obstacle blocker. It gives an rough guide to work with. I have attached below a small table I created a few years ago, some of the the satellites are out of date and the angles are approximate but still valid. The table should be reasonably close for most of the London/Surrey area. It might give you a guide as to the line of sight angles for 36.0E and beyond? For an offset focus dish you will need to account for the dish offset angle if using the dish face as an alignment angle. . [ATTACH type="full" alt="20171217_El-Pol.jpg"]136712[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
