Re: [VAL] Re: Satellite Dish
Hi Patti,
Yep, my compass and a clear view of the sky only takes a few minutes. But,
my house dish is on the roof and there's no problem. I try to copy the
direction, etc. and if the sun is just so-so, I can copy the shadow on the
portable dish. Sure have a hard time thinking that a tree grew enough in
one week to block the 119 satellite, but . . . I get 120 percent on the
110 satellite and nothing on the 119 - total frustration. When I get back
on the road, I don't want this kind of confusion. The SF-95 meter seems to
work just fine at zeroing in on the 110 satellite.
So, what type of meters did you purchase that didn't work?
Would really be great if I could afford a tracking dish!
Regards,
