5. amount of swing for azimuth and elevation for present as well as future use A thorough preinstallation site survey is strongly rec ommended because it can alert you to any look angle soil wind or other problems The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective antenna site is whether or not the area can provide an acceptable look angle to the satellite A site with a clear unob structed view facing south southeast is required Your antenna site must be selected in advance so that you will be able to receive the strongest signal available Also consider obstructions that may occur in the future such as the growth of trees It is important to conduct an on site survey with a portable antenna or with a compass and clinom eter to avoid interference obstructions etc When selecting look angle be sure to observe and take readings approximately 10 deg to the left and right above and below your selected look angle Before Ground Pole Installation the soil type should be checked because soil conditions vary widely in composition and load bearing capacity A soil check will help you to determine the type and size of foundation required to provide a stable base for the antenna Before digging is done information regarding the possibility of underground telephone lines power lines storm drains etc in the excavation area should be obtained from the appropriate agency As with any other type of construction
