Sagirma, you are at 121.8 longitude right in between galaxy 10 at 123 and Echostar 9 at 121. I would pick 121 as it is a lot more powerful and some people have trouble finding galaxy10 because Echostar 121 overpowers its signal. Echostar 9 is a linear satellite, set your receiver lof to 10750. I blind scanned it this morning and found 1 channel in the clear on that bird. It is the 'you have a superdish pointed at 121 degrees" channel at 12073V SR 20000. Your numbers look ok. The compass bearing for your location should be 163-164 so you are close.
