[amsat-bb] Starlink....

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

A little more is known. They've pulled the orbit down to below 500, and are
going to try to launch the first batch of 60 this week. It's all over the
space related launch blogs and such. Elon even tweeted a picture of inside
the fairing.

The starlink in my Forester is temperamental, sometimes the carplay won't
work and it also causes glitches in the audio.

OHHH SpaceX starlink!

No, nobody knows nothing about it besides the FCC authorization
<https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-authorizes-spacex-provide-broadband-satell
ite-services>
which states "comprising 4,425 satellites in 83 orbital planes, at an
approximate altitude of 1,110 to 1,325 kilometers...in the 10.7-12.7GHz,
13.85-14.5 GHz, 17.8-18.6 GHz, 18.8-19.3 GHz, 27.5-29.1 GHz, and 29.5-30 GHz
bands." Fortunately that has zero overlap with any amateur radio spectrum.
