BTW for us living in the GTA , next week from Monday Oct 5 to Oct 12 there will be Sun Outages (Solar Interference) due to the SUN placing exactly behind the SATs in the Clark Belt. For sats as low East as Hispasat 30W it will happen everyday around 9:25 am , for sats as low West as 125W then it will happen everyday around 4:25 pm. Although it only last from 3 to 12 minutes depending on the day and Dish size it is a usefull time of year (unless it is cloudy then the other would be the spring equinox) to do a site survey in your property for potential locations for your Dish since it will tell you the places where you could not see the sun due to a tree or building at those times therefore you wont have LOS for those extreme SATS throught the year either. Well If you had a compass and an inclinometer then you would not need the Sun Outages neither, lol. Nothing we can do about mother nature just to try to make the best of it , eh?.

For more info and how to calculate this dates either go the SAT operator website or try this: [Link: satellite-calculations.com]
