There's a bunch there.. Had to scan regularly as they come and go. Think I have about a dozen or more logged with the S9. http://www.lyngsat.com/Galaxy-3C.html

just before they went off last night,they announced they would be on tonight.
a good time to test receivers.
now i need a 32 APSK to test.

How big a dish do you have, and how is it equipped (LNB etc.)?
Most of us just don't have the square feet to get it.

i have one ten foot mesh,with norsat, c and ku. and lots of small dishes,one fotec star ,four prime star oval,and one primestar 39" upand down, 36"across. all small dishes are ku, some universal.

The thinking here is gonna need at least a 12 to have a chance at any 32APSK. Better chances with 14 or more.
Ku? at least a 6ft (1.8m) in the offset variety. And a commercial model at that. They're just built better. (parabolic accuracy)
?But who knows? One may get lucky. Part of the hobby.

around here you can find ten foot dishes all day long. i would be ecstatic to find a 12 or 14 foot dish,maybe i could find an old cable head end,but not likely.

One of the few 32apsk feeds I know of is over 100MB. So besides being hard to lock, you need a receiver, or sat card that can handle it.
