EGNOS isn't operational yet - best guesses are 2009+

Yes, its broadcasting a test signal over 2 Inmarsat satellites and the ESA Artemis satellite.

Your WAAS enabled GPS will ignore the test transmissions.

You can get software mods to consumer units to use the test signals, but you really don't want to be using it in flight.
