Help the Dummie....What's My True South Satellite

[daveorkatherine]

I just called Dish Network after 9 years and told 'em to stick it....nothing but crap and commercials for lots of $. I know I will not get that programing on FTA, but it sounds interesting, I'll take what I get and probably read more books.
I've got a Coolsat 5000, Fortec Star dish, and a Digipower DiSEqC H-H moter SG-2100 all set up and ready to go. I'm in Quartzsite, Arizona, 85346,,,,Lat/Lon 33.7N, 114.2W. I also have a Birdog that is wonderful for my Hugesnet HN7000S .74 internet, don't know if it will help here...but I'll try it.
I am guessing from here it may be 10R (123.0W), or Galaxy 14, 12 (125.0W), or Galaxy 13/Horizons (127.0W).
Anyone know, or can tell me how to find out ????

Thanks, Kneel & Grovel, Beg for Knowledge, etc.............

SatMex6 @ 113.0w would be your closest satellite to your true south. You will probably have to program it into the Coolsat, unless the latest software already has it stored? Try transponder 12080 H 25635. As found here:

Good Luck!

I assume you've already found lists of satellites and what's on them.
