I've done the calculations, but they're quite close so I'm not sure if it's AMC5 or Nimiq 2

Here's the info

Latitude: 40° 46.578'

Longitude:73° 57.174'

Magnetic Decline: -14.51

Thanks.

I'd use SBS6 @74W

.

Ohio News Network isn't on the strongest transponder I've ever seen but it should be good enough to get you dialed in.

In case someone else has the same question...don't drive yourself creazy looking for the single true south sat if you're using usals. it's ok to find another one close to it. In my case, I chose to look for t5 instead, and once I got quality, the rest of the sats on both sides fell into place. Peace of cake.

Yes, indeed. Good job! USALS makes it easy, doesn't it? :mozilla_laughing:
