Sun Fade.....

[mattb]

I know twice a year Sun Fade is a factor, in March and in Ooctober...

I remeber seeing once that there is a way to "judge" best possible location for a dish using these time periods...

I looked in past posts but I coudlnt find the info on this.

Anyone have this info

Thanks.

As I recall, it generally occurs with the vernal or altumnal equinoxes.

Here's a couple of web sites that might help you: http://www.dbsforums.com/sunspot.html or http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.html

Here is a site with all of the information about "sun fade". While it's not specific to DBS, it will show you when to expect it in your area.
