Dish at 121 is a linear polarity satellite, and is great for aiming at.
Use tp 12074 V 20000 to align your dish. It showing "Congratulations! You have a SuperDish" picture and music. Very strong signal, can even try to use SF95 cheap meter.
Azimuth for 121 Echo is 121-15=106, but with a motor, you don't need to worry about it,
USALS will find it by moving dish 0.6 degrees to the east
