Thank you for the information.

I wanted to calculate the optimal position for my dish from first principles, but unfortunately I cannot find information on the precise location of the satellite.

I found the required link:
http://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-tv-dish-pointing-uk-ireland.htm

It is extremely useful. Now I understand why the tall trees are a problem and can see that locating the dish at the back of the house is not a suitable option. I must persuade the council to keep the trees shorter.

Frankly the idea that we should cut down trees to allow people to have satellite dishes appalls me.

28.2 degrees East, directly above the equator.

Orbital radius can be calculated - but it will always be the same, regardless of the mass of the object.

Depends which was there first I suppose.....

 

[ban-all-sheds]

True.

I was assuming (as it seems highly likely) that the trees predate the dish.

I know of a few unpleasant types who have planted fir trees to **** off neighbours, under the disguise of 'adding privacy'. Those things grow really damn quick!

.. for a given angular velocity. It's surely the angular velocity which determines the height of the orbit?

Kind Regards, John

 

[EFLImpudence]

Yes, but for a geostationary orbit there is only one.

 

[JohnW2]

Yes, but for a geostationary orbit there is only one.

Indeed so, since there's obviously only one angular velocity of the satellite which is the same as the angular velocity (of rotation) of the earth! It was the general statement made that I was adding a 'qualification' to

Kind Regards, John

Ah - good old Leylandii.

"Illegal" now, aren't they?

You want someone who understands ariels and sat dishes. .

Clearly not you. Ariels are motorbikes or washing powder.
