but have you got a rule of thumb he can use for the vertical?

ohh another thing i just remembered , and many people forget this.

when you point the dish you need to take into consideration that the actual point of reception is a mirror image of the LMB arm.

what i mean is imagine you take the dish and put it on the flat ground, then think of the letter V the left side of the V will have the LMB attached on its arm yes?, well the right hand side will be the direction the signal is coming in from if you see what i mean.

so you need to keep that in mind for pointing the dish, you need to visualise that right hand side of the angle as thats your line of sight line to point with, not the LMB arm or dead center point of the dish.

does that make sense to you?.
