Hi Trevor,
Thanks for the links...the Administrative Council Minutes have some
particularly interesting items for us. It is good to see that a 50MHz
worldwide satellite service allocation (hopefully for up and downlinks) is
now top of their list of priorities and satellites are also be recogni

Another aspect to consider Do you want the center to be pointing
North or South??? Sometimes I find that when a satellite passes to
the south, my array has to turn around 360 degrees to continue to
track. This is a personal choice

Thanks to all who replied. When I last installed the rotator, I had a
free standing tower and I pored the foundation and mounting bolts such
that one leg was aligned true north.
In this new case, the tower face will have to be against a wall and that
wall as I mentioned is +28 degrees from nor
I had a rotor once I do not remember who made it. But it was super nice
because it had 400 degrees of rotation.
the stops were both sides of north by 45 degrees. don't remember who
made it tho but that was NICE!!

I believe the G5400 is a 360 degree rotor control. If you are wanting
to go from West through North to East, you will hit the stop.
Two options come to mind. Put the stop at South, but this gives the
same problem going from West to East though South. The second option is
a program like FLIPAN

The folks behind issuing the ARISSat-1 reception report certificates ARE hard

received yours yet,

It will not be a problem. The key is to have the rotor's motor rotated to zero
degrees before securing the clamps for the North-facing antenna.
You will only run into the stop if you try to pass through North from one side
to the other, requiring you to swing fully around. That is why some
SatPC32 and Nova both support Flip mode directly. Just follow the
instructions within the programs on how to do the set up.
