Galaxy 11 is an old American satellite which originally operated at 99W & 91W She was relocated to Europe in 2008 to provide backup to Intelsat 802
Theoretically she carries 2 Ku band payloads, covering north and south Africa. The northern Africa beam should just about be received in the far south of Europe (if its ever activated)
There is also a northern Africa C-band payload. Thiswill be very very low power into Europe - the map suggests just 31dBW which would need a very big dish indeed. Its included more for the sake of completeness.
Apologies for the poor quality of the two north Africa pictures - they were rather small so I has to enhance them a little.....
