Finding NSS 5

[aweq]

Is it possible to get NSS 5(177.0°W) in North America?

My specs:
1m dish
0.3dB LNB
53.57N
113.42W

I really want NSS 5 man!

So what if the elevation I need is 8degrees....

There may be 1 person out there who'd agree that it is possible

 

[Mr Tony]

So Nope.

Well Iceberg the link that aweq has, in this thread, shows that there is a North American Beam. Actually 2 beams. 1 & 2. The site is Newskies.

 

[PSB]

The N. American beam/s are not being used for the channels he wants, unfortunately.

 

[aweq]

The struggle continues....
thanks
