dish pointing

[nigelcaruthers]

My dish finder coordinates location says, Ele 46.5, Az 220.3, mag., skew 26.9. for Satelite 99.

The radial indicator on the dish only goes to 40 deg for Skew.

What am I doing wrong and what Skew do I need to set for Sat 99, 101 and 103 ??

My zip code is 29418.

Cheers

Dishpointer.com shows that your skew is 61.1.

And, when you aim your dish your primary setting is for sat 101. So the azimuth you need to use is 222.7. (Which is approx 2 degrees away from your figure.) You use the tilt for birds 99 and 103.
