AMC5 hasnt been used in a while now. AMC2 was there but they shuffled it east (like way east)

The incl 1.4 means inclined orbit (not on the clarke belt)

AMC5 is currently at 80.87W (according to LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE AND SPACE SHUTTLE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS) which is where it has a pending application to move to: FCC INTERNATIONAL BUREAU
