Hello, I have had my FTA system for about two weeks now and just love it. I have a fixed dish locked on to Galaxy10R and am ready to get a motor now! My zip code is 32304 and my longitude is 84" 19.266'. Which satellite is my true south?

thanks for any replys.
 
I would use AMC-2 @ 85ºw But mainly feeds there.
So AMC-3 @ 87º might work better for you, if you use USALS any satellite close to the top of your arc works!!



Code:
Tallahassee, FL 32304
         Latitude 30° 26.868'N Longitude 84° 19.266'W
