Aiming a satellite dish with Google Earth.

Lookup the azimuth for your zip code. Use the ruler tool in Google Earth to draw a line in the direction needed. Find an object on the line to use for aiming. I used the corner of a building.


I found a small piece of pipe and placed it on the mounting bracket. Then I looked through the pipe to view the corner of the building. I have 90% signal and it works great.

Hi,

Your work on the blog is fantastic. I’m influenced in a positive way.

Specifically, I got some nice information in this page http://jamsignal.blogspot.com/2009/10/aiming-satellite-dish-with-google-earth.html

If you are interested, I would like to exchange links by placing a content link in your website. Don’t you think it would be nice for both our sites?

I’m waiting for your response.

Regards,
David
