elev/position/skew for us addresses?

[philhu]

Any site around to get these for EVU?

I just got my 6120/dish/2lnb and it needs elev and position. I can get that, but what about skew?

I live right outside boston.

I live in 06385, Waterford, CT, so I would have close values.

The figures I have for BEV is Az 215.1 El 39.8 and Skew 102.1 I would use those as a base reference, and go from there, it should be pretty close. a degree or two, here and there.

use 86.5 for satellite (1/2 way between 82 & 91)

Boston gives me
38.7 elevation
202 azimuth
16 skew (107)..if you are standing behind the dish, the left LNB will be higher

Thanks! The dish goes up Saturday!

btw, my az figure is for magnetic south.. you need to add 15 or 16 to any truesouth for where you are..

Assuming that Ice didnt compensate for magnetic declination, your az would be around 218

Lucky Its about 14 here, the heading calculator on my website automatically adds it for me, so I generally dont have to worry about it, but I thought that number looked low

Where would someone look for a used DSR-421/451 for SC from a reputable supplier if they wanted to use this in the US? And yes, I have a reason I need to use that particular unit.

I believe that KuSat.com has the 451, Let me guess, you have an HDD200 sidecar?
