[QUOTE="stocksie, post: 499103, member: 194047"] Generally we in Europe will not know which satellites you can see in J'burg however BadrC at 26E is near enough due north and at the arc apex for you to set the LNB and skew to upright (zero) then see how good your arc tracking is by looking at satellites E and W of you. We could use a gyro or Google Earth to find due North but we have lots of conveniently positioned satellites to home in on! I live at 4W and use the satellite at 5W as my apex reference. I notice you dont mention reception of any Ku band signals. Be aware that 3.6M dish is going to be very sharply focussed so searches for signals will need to be done very slowly! also some C band mesh dishes dont perform well at 10-12 Ghz. Once you are near to the arc you will need to find what errors are occuring and in which direction to allow you to trim your arc shape. No going out and flexing that beast!! Is the dish actuator driven? Man sized!! Let us know how you get on and what you see from down there. [/QUOTE]
