Need Help Please (satellite pointing) Mulege area


Jimena tore down my old sat dish along with most the the roof. I've installed a new 1.2m dish and could use a little help in pointing it in the right direction (mulege area).

Can anyone tell me the appx. elevation and degrees south to point for sat 101??

Muchas Gracias

I'd put it in the shed for a week or so.....

Sorry, I know you were serious and I was making fun. I'm sure there will be a HELPFULL Nomad chime in.....dt

Check with Los Frailes. Are you on high ground? Seriously, wait until Hurricane Rick passes before you try to position your dish. Otherwise, it could become a periscope or a twirling weather vane or even a UFO.:o

This is a great site for pointing your sat dish. Gives you all the sats available, and uses your exact lat/long location.

Use the active map to drag the location finder right to your front door.

Good Luck

Now you can watch all of the reports on "Rick". Pretty scarry.
