Hi! everybody,

I'm happy to be with you in this forum. Someone can tell me if it is possible to get Apstar6 at 134.o*E from New-York? and how to get it directly with my compass? no compliqued calculus. Thanks

Hi,
According to Lyngsat, that satellite is located over Asia, not accessable from NY at all.

unless we can saw the earth in half, you won't be able to get it

(plus the beam doesn't reach the US)

Might not have to saw the world in half. I still have that 18" d. drill bit that I used to get Nilesat from Indiana

Not real good. I think I should have used something like RG1000 or higher for the run of coax and the springloaded hinges I used to collapse the dish to fit through the hole I believe have the reflector surface a bit off. It is just such a pain to pull it all back through the hole just to make a lnbf adjustment.
