Default can anyone get 61.5 west?

this is just for interest

I have a problem with sats to the west can only get to 22 west

but as there is not much of interest for me at the mo in not too bothered

but as 61.5 west looks ok and is still in N2 so just wondered if anyone in the uk has it on their arc ?

You won't get knob all off 61.5w

Have a look at its footprint


I suppose if you had a 10m dish or so you might get a sniff off it

The other problem you may also have is that the signals are broadcast in L & R hand circular polarization.

In Europe we use Horizontal and Vertical polarization

You would lose half of the signal straight away using one of our lnbs

You certainly won't get the CONUS beam, but could get any Global beam transmissions if you had Line of Sight.
