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.
