Yes, it's pretty busy in the geostationary zone. Here's a recent M61 rejection map showing 4 or so satellites (over 1.5 hrs), at about +4.6 declination and about due north.

In fact, looking carefully at the rejection map I also found 3 faint asteroid tracks !

Interesting stuff even in the data we normally throw away !
