Satellite chart !!!PIC!!!

[mikelib]

I printed out two. One is 18"x24". The other is 24"x36"

For comparison, they are pictured along with a used Pansat2500A bought for $23 shipped...

First: Good Luck on the new, used, receiver.

The 24"x36" looks really good. I have been using the drawing for a long time now. I have put a dot on where I live and drew lines to the satellites that define the arc that I get with my motorized system. I also marked with a line my most south satellite and I highlighted all of the satellites that I have a signal from. I also highlighted with a different color the satellites that have no American beam or cannot be accessed.

It gives a good visual picture of the satellites that I have locked-in.

I use my garage for my FTA, Scanner, SWL and some ham radio setup, and I have a few frequency charts and posters tacked to the wall.

I scored on e-bay and won a 99 cents bid plus $10.50 for shipping for a brand new 500 dish without the LNB. My old 18x20” test dish setup is getting worn out so I am making a new test setup.

Very nice...
I had a spectrum chart like that big one when I worked for HAC many years ago. Don't recall that it came from the Feds, though...
Some vendor sent them out for the asking...

I'm glad you visited the goverment printing site, these charts were out of stock a couple of months ago. I check back every now and then to see if they update the chart. I thought with the change over to all digital OTA TV they might update the chart it's six years old.

(Who is HAC?), I seen the chart at Bellcore when I worked there, 31 years with Verizon, 9 years with Bellcore now called Telcordia Technologies.

This is the chart that guapoharry has printed out in poster size and started the dialog on posters . And is the PDF file that we hijacked this thread with.

I left there because life in LA-LA land was not worth the trouble.

Thanks for sharing, I took a buy-out after 31 years, I seen the handwriting on wall it was time to go on good terms before the offers to leave stop and they bounce you out with nothing. I worked 50 years then retired.:up
