This is a very interesting coverage. Comparing reports from Cyprus and Azores I'd assume this is some sort of MENA beam.
I had reception at the very start with some 7dB, now most of what I get is little over 5dB.
There is also a potentially "disturbing" signal from 30.5E on the opposite polarity.

As I speculated, there is indeed the MENA beam and 11.505 H is sitting on it…

This satellite will be an interesting test for your new toy when it arrives to see what it makes of things in wavy line land.

I would say that with the transponders found at 30.8E Turksat 5A is officially operational,but I am not sure about that,maybe they are just for testing?
Apart from 11515 H which is a promotional tv programe,all other transponders are for Data.
In addition to the above reason,I would add that Turksat and Arabsat(6A) has not yet resolved the Ku band portion between 11400-11700 MHz which creates confusion and reception problems for some beneficiaries(?).
For the time being it seems that Turksat is using the position for back up as it has done in the past.
If you have any inside information,some clarification would be appreciated
:3:
