Default Anybody receiving NSS 806 at 40.5°W

Anybody receiving NSS 806 at 40.5°W? It is C-band circular. It's quite a shot east for me but am thinking it might be a good challenge for me being in the southwest and having a mountain range to the east of me about 20 miles away. I'm already watching 55.5 strong but the 10' dish is almost pointing into my neighbors windows! I will probably have to plant a new pole in a different location and elevate it. I do already have a 7' mesh elevated doing another task.

Anybody watching it now & from where?

Yea, I noticed. But it would be a nice catch for my location I was thinking. Maybe Russian channel & Europe by Satellite service might be the only english speaking video service on it. Might be boring but put another bird on my catch-list. Kinda like a Ham operator during a DX'ing contest.
