Need some help guys...trying something
I want to try and get 30W...its a 10 elevation (well 9.9) and the only way I can even attempt it is to somehow attach it to the TV antenna mast (its a 2" heavy duty pipe) which is on the peak of the roof. (lots of trees)
anywho working with a GeosatPro 90cm dish and a "broken" SG2100 (broken as in there are some gear issues so it doesnt move fluently).
Trying to figure out how to measure what an angle is on the 90cm dish. Basically I want to do this...Right now the motor is at 0 so I would lower the elevation on the dish and the elevation on the motor and sweep E-W til I (hopefully) find 30W. But since I wont be working with any accurate numbers on the dish or motor how can I verify what the angle is at? I tried a couple spots on the dish right now and nothing matches what the elevation shows right now.
Anybody know how to figure it out?
