But I didn't see Express 3A under the drop down menu for pointing angles to satellite orbit longitude. I have another site pointing to this satellite in Lagos also or has the name been changed is represented by any other. Thanks.

If any satellite names are wrong please say. Just go by the orbit position numbers in the meantime. Best regards, Eric.
