Helpful Considerations Before Ordering BJU Press Distance Learning Hardware
- You MUST have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky in the direction of our satellite in order to receive the signal.
- The satellite is located on the equator at 93 O W. Lat. (roughly in the direction of Shreveport, LA).
- Possible signal obstructions are trees, tree branches, power lines, and buildings. In some instances, the signal is limited by geographic location (e.g., a location in a valley might be blocked by a mountain).
