Bob, for comparison, I used a 30" x 24" grill for AO-40. I found that moving the dish +/- one "click" on my controller (10 degrees) would make a just-audible difference in the received signal strength. So, I figure 10 degrees is the 3db beam width, not good enough, apparently, for the ISS TV...

Explain "one click at a time"
A rotor such as the Yeasu G5500 is a must. A "step" rotor (moves X degs at a time) just is not that good for a moving target.
