3. Use the elevation number to find out how high the
satellites are in the sky from your location. You
know that vertical is 90°, and horizontal 0°, and
halfway in between is 45°.
Stand close to where you plan to mount the
satellite antenna and face in the direction that you
marked for the direction to the satellites. Using
the elevation angle, find the closest approximation
to that angle in the sky. You now are pointing to
the approximate location of the satellites.
4. Note whether there are any obstructions between
you and the satellites. Leave a wide margin for
adjustment, since you have not yet aimed the
antenna exactly.
If there are obstructions, you will have to find a
new location, or remove the obstruction, if pos-
sible.
Also, make sure that the antenna is accessible for
removing snow and other debris. If necessary,
repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have located the
best location for the antenna. The best location
should provide a sturdy support for the antenna,
plus it must have a clear line of sight. It should
also be easily accessible. Mark the spot and the
direction to the satellites.
