HOW TO LOCATE A SATELLITE SITE

1\. Locate a satellite downlink site in your community, with a steerable
dish, that can receive either C or KU-bands. Most hospitals, community
colleges, some local health departments, and high schools have steerable
dishes. (If you need help identifying a site, please call Vicky Ritz at
217/785-4475).

2\. After identifying a site, make sure that they can accommodate you
for this particular date/time. You will need to arrive approximately 30
minutes before air time to set the room up, i.e., make sure program is
tuned-in, set out sign-in sheet, handouts, etc.

3\. Fill out the attached form and fax it to Vicky Ritz at 217/557-7843.

4\. Specific coordinates and materials (if applicable) will be e-mailed
or mailed to you approximately 7 days prior to the program. At that time
you need to forward the coordinates to the technical person at your
site.
