These are the official Astra 1A transmission footprints. It had 4 different footprints whilst in operation at 19E, and one whilst operating in its restricted mode at 5E from 2001 onwards.
Astra 1A Horizontal mode 1
Astra 1A Horizontal mode 2
Astra 1A Vertical mode 1
Astra 1A Vertical mode 2
And this is the footprint for 1A at 5E
This is rather pessimistic as it says I should have needed a 2.7m dish to receive it - however, when it was close to the arc I could easily see 1A with my 80cm dishes!
