I made a stripped-down, no-bells-or-whistles version of that program I
posted recently that calculates the direction in which a satellite dish
should be aimed, given the location of the dish and the longitude of
the (geostationary) satellite, and also the dates and times when the
satellite and the sun are very close together in the sky, which can
lead to degraded communications.
It's in pretty generic BASIC. Even the BBC BASIC guys should, I think,
be able to run it without modification.
Enjoy...
