Ok so here is a better picture of the mount for my 20ft dish.
It shows the big beam (on which the dish mounts) attached to the pole mount with one bolt. The dimensions allow the turnbuckle shown in blue to adjust the beam from +16 degrees through horizontal to -16 degrees. This worried me at first because that means that the minimum elevation I can achieve is 90-16 = 74.
However I am in Panama Central America lat 9.23degrees N and Long 82.28 degrees W
If I have understood things correctly my nearest south satellite would be Nimiq 4
and azimuth should be 178 and dish elevation 79.
Phew I can just make it with that turnbuckle adjustment.
Please Please correct me if I have made any silly mistake
Many Thanks
Tony
