use. Any obstructions above the
horizon should be mapped using a compass and
clinometer and used in satellite prediction software with
a recent satellite
almanac
to assess the impact on
satellite visibility at that location. Potential sources of
interference should be avoided where possible. Example
interference sources include overhead power lines, radio
transmitters and nearby electrical equipment.
