Looking at N2YO, it's now (Mon pm) at 32.5°E. Comparing 2G's altitude with 2E's, it appears she's 45km higher than the Clarke belt (35,840 km vs. 35.795), thus slowing her orbit slightly compared to Earth's 24 hour period. It will be interesting to see when they start to bring her into line, but I don't think N2YO is the best site for this- past updates have proven to be a bit slow, showing satellites apparently overshooting their targets.
Anyone know where to get up-to-date TLE's?

According to n2yo she's now at 32.02E, pretty much 3.7E of her final destination at 28.3E.

At 0.5E/day I make it 7.5 days before her arrival on the 16th June.

According to Satellite-Calculations, the altitude appears to be dropping now, averaging 35833 km as opposed to almost 35840 the other day, which would explain the apparent 'slowing down'.
