With gadgets one can possibly find out e.g.,122.2 deg. East. But without gadgets, what is the alternative to find the azimuth of an antenna towards the satellite ?

Answer
Well, a compass would do it for you, but you said no gadgets. (You would also need the magnetic deflection for your location).

Try going to this website:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html

Select your location and click "See sunrise/sunset".

Go to the "columns" menu and select "all columns". That will print out the azimuth of sunrise and sunset.

Then go out and note the direction of the sun at sunrise or sunset. You can use that to guide you to the desired azimuth. It might help to make up a circle on a big piece of cardboard or wood pinned to the ground and use that as a sighting aid. You can adjust the antenna and then use the signal meter on your receiver to fine tune it.
