Atlantic bird clarke belt tracking

Hello,

I have two different HH motors, one is a stab and the other is a satcontrol. I am able to track the clarke belt just fine, but I am not able to go deep into the atlantic range of the Arc. I am on the east coast and am able to receive the birds down to at least 20 deg. W if I take the satellite dish off the motor and manually point.

With the motor, Is there any way to position the motor so that "zero" is at an area further to the east than due south so that I can track the clarke belt between say 0-60 as opposed to only tracking the clarke belt for the birds over the Americas?

Or is there a motor that will let me go from due south (roughly 99 deg W in the arc) to 0 degrees?

Thanks!
