[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 540344, member: 256551"] If the object is 3m above your dish and is 5m away this equates to approx 30º. If your dish points towards the obstruction, and the required elevation angle is below 30º you won't see the satellite. For any satellites you want, the angle up to any obstructions must be less than the elevation angle for the those sats. Eg, for Thor say, where I am the elevation angle is 32º, if I had an obstruction 5m away and 3m (30º) up, my dish would see over it. However if I was after 28E, whose elevation is approx 25º for my location, and the same obstruction was in that direction instead, my dish would not see the satellite. I always measure the angle to the obstruction from the bottom of the dish (assuming that the top of the dish is clear), but for stronger satellites like 28E, you can get away with the dish being partially obstructed.
