Bronze Member Username: LoverboyzPost Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | Hi, I am looking for satellite signal meter to find satellite quality for me. I am trying to pick nimiq 2 and 1.3, been trying for 2 days can't get nothing. I am currently pointed to 110 & 119. I moved my dish southeast little bit nothing happen. I am in san antonio tx, lat is 29.42 and long is 98.42. According to online satellite finder I should point to azimuth 148-150 deg. 51 elevation and skew -26. I don't know what to do with skew. Thanks. |
