    I tuned in SELECT numerous times from UNC-Chapel Hill, which has a
pretty good view of F2R.  While I'm no expert on satellite TV, both I
and our communications director had trouble getting a good signal.
Generally we had to fiddle with the skew setting of the receiver and
nudge the antenna back and forth. It seemed to be best ~2 degrees
further east than the claimed position, in general.
