My Location
47.5N, 42.2E / Russia
Tracking shows Astra 2G at 44°E already, so seems the sat has arrived IOT position 43.5°E

P.S. Unfortunately, there are a lot of strong signals from 45°e, 44.5°e and 42°e in my location, it will be hard to determine test carriers between powerful interference for me :(
Seems it would be better for me to look at 52°e and 12°w testing.

I'll start a spreadsheet at home to try and track whats being tested from reports and post periodically.

AS, is it time to open a new topic now testing has begun?
Yes, good point, if it hasn't been done I move the tests from this topic to a new one later this afternoon.
