I've never seen anything on this satellite before, but this weekend I found a transponder on 11053 H 20000. I think it's data because I'm not getting any channels, although it could be a weird modulation because the quality keeps going up and down. Anyone else seeing anything?
 
Weird. It's possible that my dish is off the arc a little, but I'm not aware of any adjacent satellites that beam to this area. (It is definitely NOT off far enough to be 45W or 37.5W!)
 
SES 6 doesn't have a North American beam per se, but has 3 Western Atlantic transponders that cover parts of North America, mainly the Northeast. They are:

10,995 H
11,075 H
11,155 H

Each is 72 MHz wide. Perhaps that is what you are seeing?
