Ah, I knew it couldn't be so simple. Thanks for the insight into this aspect of satellite construction and operation.

I wonder... Has anyone at SES considered just turning off their transmitter, while Galaxy-15 crosses their path, and using it instead?
G-15 and AMC-11 are opposite polarity, and most of the AMC-11 transponders are pretty wide, and the main carrier freq of each transponder is right at the null between the transponders on G-15. It should work on narrow signals that don't have carriers at the nulls, but I don't think it would work for most of the wide transponders.
