Azimuth/elevation for 129 using Dish 300??

[cruzmisl]

HI All,
I am located in the 48236 zip code and am tired of rain fade on my 129 sat. I decided to use a separate dish 300 to pick up 129 but I can't find the correct azimuth and elevation. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

See http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Satellite-Heading-Calculator.htm Enter 129 in the "Satellite West Longitude" box. I used Detroit MI and got 22.9 Elevation and 236.9 Azimuth.

elevation of 23 deg.
azimuth of 244 deg.

Use a larger dish than the size you are using and you may get a 10 to 20 % gain.

if you want the National HD channels, swing that Dish300 to 61.5
Much stronger than 129

And it don't wobble...

Ok thanks for the tip. If a tree isn't in the way of 61.5 I'll go with that, otherwise it's the lowly 129 for me.
