If you are seeing NASA on C-Band you must be on AMC-7 @ 137W or AMC-6 @ 72W?

Just found out for sure it is indeed AMC-6 72W... I've never gotten over that far. I'm glad I moved my dish in the middle of both hill sides.

Try this page...
Satellite finder, how to point dish with magnetic north, azimuth and elevation program calculator.

For West use use a minus value ( -81.6 = 81.6 west)
Your True South Sat is Nimiq2 @ 82, but that is Circular
You could use AMC5 @ 79, and adjust from there.
Drive your dish so it is at it's highest point.
Set Polar Mount angle
Set Deinc angle
Using compass, twist mount on pole to South

I think I am done. Found 8 satellites so far. Just trying to figure out what they are now. Gotta wait till something comes on I recognize. I got AMC 18, AMC 1, Galaxy 16, Galaxy 26, AMC 3, AMC 6, and 2 more unidentified as of now.

Hmm.. lost on figuring out this Fortec Star Mercury II... I understand part of it I can find channels using the power scan (blind scan) but how do I input something. For example 3732/H/6625 I see the place where I input this and I press store but then I don't see it in the list.


Also, I subscribed to the private forums of this site but they are blank. What did I pay $19.99 for? Donation?
