Dr.Dish:
Theoretical you dish sees all satellites from 177°west to 180° East. This 
quite a lot. If you have a polarmount, here are some data (calculated for Hilo):
Magnetic variation: 10.2°E
Modified polar elevation: 69.82°
Modified apex elevation: 66.86°
Modified polar axis: 20.18°
Modified apex declination: 23.14°
Modified declination offset: 2.95°
