An azimuth of 180 degrees is conceptually due south. You need to offset that angle by magnetic north if you are finding it by a compass. You can also find it by a solar angle calculation on the internet that gives you a shadow of a pole at a certain time of day for your location.

You are, if you are 82.3W (west or east?.. big difference) then there is a good satellite at 83W that has some good stations. Check lyngsat.com for the possible stations for that sat.

83W is the sat to use for your due south satellite. Good luck.
