[amsat-bb] Re: ISS HamTV Frequencies

[Roger]

Anybody off the top of their heads know how many degrees a second swing 
are (is?) required for direct aim at the ISS?  I know there are beam 
width tolerances, altitude variations and degree above horizon 
variations but I'm looking at Bob B's fixed antenna aiming of 15-20 
degrees above horizon to evaluate swinging a dish without torque eating 
up the drive train...
