Can someone please calculate for me a set of "dummy" geostationary keps for my location PF95GD
I need the satellite to be at azimuth 180 deg and elevation 90 deg
I have tried several attempts and cannot get it precise :(

Hi Joe,
This is impossible. Elevation 90º would only be possible for a station right on the equator. At your latitude (-34.875) the maximum elevation you can get from a geostationary satellite is 55.125º, and the azimuth for that elevation would be 0º.

Dani.
Thanks for your reply Dani, I need it above my QTH not on the equator.
I would have thought a geo sat can be positioned anywhere above the earth, or am I wrong ?

Geostationary satellites are only positioned on the equator (but may be at any longitude)
