You're expertise would be more constructive if used to help members rather than flame them with your convoluted diatribe.
Your main gripe here is misquoting me about the Optus skew.
I've used the nomenclature of Preset Skew for Optus Satellites. The figure of 40 Deg. came from an old LNB with a moulded arrow. Near enough to all intents and purposes.
Now you are inventing nomenclature for figments of your imagination that I never said or intimated.

The correct skew setting for Sydney OPTUS C1 is +38 degrees which is where I suspect poor old beerforlife's 40 'Sydney centric' view comes from.

The preset skew is set with the dish pointing True North.There is a difference (Perth 4 W) and (Sydney 12 E) of 16 Degrees in "Magnetic Variation (Declination)".
There are places on our planet exceeding + or - 45 Deg. Magnetic Variation.
Satellite Footprints by Dish Size - Magnetic Deviation Maps - Global and North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, Orient/New Guinea, Australia/New Zealand
You do not have the faintest idea of Navigation.
I, on the other hand have been a 'Licenced Navigator' for 58 years.
To use any of the composite satellite charts for all sats, quoted skew must be taken into account as well as any "Preset Skew". May I humbly suggest, that instead of posturing as the only GURU on the forums, that you accept help from others as it is intended, and if necessary politely and diplomatically disagree or reinforce.
Very Kindest Regards, " The Druid ".
