Incorrect, the UTC offset should be sent in the Almanac, the Almanac
having a period of 12.5 minutes max. Not one hour. It should take no more than
12.5 minutes to get the UTC offset when sats are properly being received.

yes indeed, it was ok after about 1 hour of the power up. Sorry but I
didn't remember I had ever waited so long for the UTC to come "on".
I'm now plotting the signal strength vs AZ/EL map, I'll post the
result tomorrow so maybe someone can tell me how the new antenna is
working.
