the 39" dish should be plenty big enough. the motor may be a little small for the dish though.

i forgot to tell yas i am in eastern canada, where i got the dish and motor i asked ne of them if the dish is to big for the motor and he said it would be ok
if anyone could help me out with some # on where to set the motor at that would be great

you set the motor on the latitude scale to your latitude then aim at your true south sat which would be the one located closest to your longitude.
