Warmed up to almost 70 today so I had an urge to try for this Intelsat at 55w, heard it had BBC news on it (its radio) ....so I took the traxis and went outside to the flat place where the old 5' Little Wil dish was still parked.Parked on the ground that is. Put the c-band lnb back on the scaler, hooked up the cable and gave the dish a big twist to the east. It had been on H2, testing a ku lnb I had. No measurements, nothing. Ran a scan and danged if I wasn't dead on 55W ! What luck lol. Never seen this sat before, some cool channels, most in Spanish. Panamerican TV comes in at 78/70 on the Traxis.
I need to explore east of 72W once in a while, there's a world of tv I've hardly thought about.
 
very cool

I have the same "luck" sometimes when aimaing at 99, 101 or 121...drop the dish outside off the 2 wheeler and pretty much bang on
