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.

Why all of them, why not. If I'm gonna do any might as well do them all. Took 2 readings several minutes apart to see if consistent. Just wondering when channel 32 is gonna burn a hole in my dish.:D

New readings at 8:00am 2/13/09, I noticed all of my previous signal readings dropped by 5 - 6 points in strength ,including spotbeams. But the sky is overcast and we have a 70 % chance of rain today.
