I finally found a bird up there that I get 65% signal and 65% quality,
AMC-5.
Not much on that bird though.
I removed the dish from the motor and got it manually.
I next tried for the birds close to AMC-5 like AMC-6 and SBS-6 and PAS-9
with no luck.
What am I doing wrong? I have a clear view of most the southern sky.
Please post or email me all suggestions.
Thanks.
