I was hoping the Albuquerque spotbeam would come in better here.
I average a signal strength of 70 on sat 110 and 65 on sat 119. Would it be possible for me to adjust the dish to get a little more signal from 129 and maybe bring transponder 10 up to 18+ so I can get a solid lock on Albuquerque? Please send me a private message if you can answer my question. I don't want to divert the discussion.
