Sometimes true south is difficult to find. I am wondering if we can use motor's swing angle and the satellite's signal to find the true south. Some of the satellites, such as Echo Star 6, have very strong signal and very easy to find. If that satellite is 19 degrees from true south, and the motor swings only 15 degrees. Then the motor is 4 degree from the true south. Does this make sense?
