Telstar 5 in Redmond, WA?

Hi,

I am trying to set up my system to receive Telstar (Intelsat Americas) 5 in Redmond, WA. I have an 80cm dish and have tried two different universal ku LNBFs without any luck. I am using a new SatHawk 3000 to do the alignment (which is a great tool BTW) and although I have managed to get a good solid lock on a bunch of other satellites (with Galaxy 11 being the easiest to find), I have spent hours positioning the dish and searching for Telstar 5 without a signal satellite found indication from the meter. I have a clear line of site to the satellite, have followed the directions for elevation and azimuth (which work for all the other satellites I've tried) and my mounting pole is perfectly vertical and concreted into the ground. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Andrew
