Yep, I stumbled across the dishpointer website the other day and saved it to favorites. Unfortunately my phone is Windows mobile so they don't have an app for it. But I can go on there like you said and print the coordinates. it is pretty slick, I played with the arrow a while by moving it...

Jimbo, I did take it completely down and back up several times for practice and I got to where I can get a signal in no time now, but of course this is at home. I'm sure it'll be different away from home but at least I have a good starting point and a lot more understanding of what is required...
