Satellite Look Angles Heading Calc ?

Total greenhorn here, please be gentle! Using the Sat Look Angles Heading Calc linked on the site here to determine Long, Lat, Elev, etc. I'm a bit confused on what the little green and red pointer bubble(s) indicate? As well as the d=150.0 ft and h=103.1 ft. I'm assuming (big assumption) that's indicative of distance and height, but distance and height from what? Can anyone help

Not a clue but your angles are listed on the screen just above the sat view of your location. Perhaps at d from your location you need a rise of h. I did not take the time to figure out the angle of that to see if that makes sense.

Thanks for the info......figured it out with help of course..
d= distance to an obstacle from where you want to install your sat dish, and h=max height that obstacle can be without blocking line of sight to the satellite. Yes, I can see this hobby is going to be fun
