EUMETCAST Basic service at the Azores

Taylor, Paul E1
 

Hi,

 

I am thinking about testing reception of EUMETCAST Basic service at the Azores, island, Portugal. Going to look into a availability and cost of a 90 cm to 1.2m KU antenna/LNB while here on island.

I calculate a look angle for EUTESAT 10A of Az: 129.64 and El: 31.01. I have a S300 receiver already.

 

Does anyone know if this is in the footprint and if it is doable?

 

Thanks,

Paul

See maps at the bottom of the page.
