Dr.Dish:
You dont need any compass. To adjust to the orbital position of all
available satellites bring the direction of the dish in line with the
polarmount. Adjust the elevation to 53.18 degree. The declination of
5.13 degree (adjustable mostly oon the top of the polarmount near the
back of the dish) leaves the polarmount at 53.18 degr., but brings down
the dish to 48.05 degrees.
Now, choose on your positioner/receiver the GE-2 satellite and go to
NASA-TV (3.880 vertical). This channel carries always some signal. Turn
very carefully the whole dish and mount on the pole to the south until
you see NASA-TV. Fasten all screws and start to search for other
satellites. Since the GE-2 satellite is your correct south-direction
only minor adjustemnts have to made to receive the most eastern and
western satellites. A complete list of all satellites - seen from your
location (apprx. 75 degree to the west and east) - you can find on the
satcodx-charts here in the net or in TELE-satellite International.
Thats all!
