My program gives even lower elevation for 42/80 . I get 1.6 deg. That plus the fact that Lyngsat doesn't list ANY transponder using the US Beam, means that there is zero chance to pick up anything listed on Lyngsat. That doesn't rule out the possibility that there might be a transponder that people haven't found yet. I know of a sat that has some transponders that aren't listed in Lyngsat. However I don't think I've ever picked up a sat that was less than 7 or 8 degrees elevation, even with a big dish, and with an 80 CM dish, I think I wouldn't even bother trying. Even if you "tried", you wouldn't know what freq to look for, because no-body has found a US transponder yet.
