    Solved: the reason why 99 KU is such a funky satellite

    I guess I'm not important.

    He was fine. Got out pretty quickly. I managed to get a pic right after the impact but while still moving. Found a sweetspot atop the garages for track photos. So many obstructions up there, but there is a good spot for shots. And shaded! Saw Herta back it into the tire barrier yesterday, but...

    It has a well-designed footprint to cover the important areas. Satstar.net agrees:

    Solved: the reason why 99 KU is such a funky satellite

    Look at the coverage contour map from SatBeams. This satellite provides great coverage for the east and west coasts, especially LA, NYC, Seattle, and cyberham's neck of the woods in Canada. It's weaker in the Mountain West, Southwest and Plains regions. This explains why I've never had good luck...

    is something wrong with the national PBS Ku feed?

    12.2 dB here. Pretty normal. About 0.7 dB lower than Montana PBS.

    is something wrong with the national PBS Ku feed?

    It's barely showing up at my location, won't stay locked for longer than a fraction of a second. All other transponders seem strong.

    Augmented Reality Satellite Locator Apps

    For azimuth, I stand behind the dish holding my smartphone with azimuth app running. I look down at the app and set the phone so its front edge is pointing at the correct azimuth. I then look up to sight where the dish should point. This is all just approximate since you're going to swing the...

    Interesting ATSC Read

    UHF is too valuable, but the VHF spectrum isn't so much. Cell phones would be ok with UHF, but there's no way you could fit an antenna to do VHF spectrum. Also, there's not much bandwidth available on the VHF spectrum side. You only have 42MHz of usable VHF spectrum on the Hi band. That's not...

    for the elevation, what I find that works well is to aim at a fairly easy satellite by trial and error, and once fine-tuned, use the elevation as a reference point and extrapolate other satellite elevation from that one. This way it eliminate the problem of offset angles etc.

    I agree... When I had to figure out a location for my C-band dish, I brought a small Ku dish there and determined the limits of what it could "see" by trial and error - with the understanding that those limits can vary with the seasons due to foliage. Also, one can use a dish aimed at a...

    Hope Ericsson is okay, looks like a minor shunt but still, you don’t need to increase your crew's workload on a hot weekend:

    With a KU band offset dish, where do you place the angle finder as well where do you place the compass so that it is not affected by the metal dish?

    Is the mini castle on Signal Hill called Cabot? I've always referred to it as the Marconi Tower. EDIT. OK I looked it up and Cabot is the correct name.

    AT&T and TPG finally close their sale.

    TPG would not have bought the rest of DIRECTV if it they could not turn a profit on the deal. Onerous debt is what has gone away.

    How things have changed

    When we got our cable internet installed about two years ago and ditched Verizon DSL ( :yessign ) the cable company tech said they would be upgrading to fiber here as well in the future. Soon please! :hungry

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I've been wearing mine while sleeping since I got it. I charge it up before going to bed, and find it lasts until the next evening. Yesterday, though, I charged it before our party, so I wouldn't run out while we were out.
