A system and method for automatically pointing a microwave antenna at a desired satellite in geosynchronous earth orbit from a remote location, such as encountered in a well logging, is disclosed. The system uses a truck borne, gimbal mounted antenna and a computer arranged to automatically control and drive servo motors connected to the gimbal mounts of the antenna. Accurate pointing with minimal human intervention is achieved.
