K3RRR @K3TripleR - I'm not sure from this article what out of band frequencies are impacted by this interference but it does make me wonder if any of the amateur satellites would be negatively impacted. Anyone know?
"Experts are sounding the alarm about SpaceX satellites again.
Unintentional radio leakage from massive satellite constellations like Starlink is threatening to drown out the faint signals from the dawn of the universe.
Modern astronomy is facing a silent crisis as the night sky becomes increasingly crowded with thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites. While SpaceX’s Starlink network aims to provide global internet access, its hardware is unintentionally leaking radio noise even when not transmitting data. This low-level interference overlaps with the critical frequencies used by radio telescopes to detect ancient light from the cosmic dawn. These specialized telescopes are searching for the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang, but they require pristine, interference-free conditions that are rapidly disappearing due to this persistent electronic fog.
The scale of the problem is set to accelerate as thousands of new satellites from Amazon’s Project Kuiper and China’s Guowang network join the 5,000 Starlink units already in orbit. Scientists are calling for urgent international regulations, improved satellite shielding, and better data sharing to prevent the whispers of the early cosmos from being lost forever. Without stricter design standards and cooperation between tech giants and researchers, the very technology designed to connect our planet may inadvertently blind us to the origins of the universe itself.

Breaking: I am in Seattle covering the first major trial against the city related to the 2020 Antifa-BLM CHAZ/CHOP.
The City of Seattle is accused of negligence in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Antonio Mays Jr., a 16-year-old black teen who was shot dead inside the Antifa autonomous zone.
Seattle Police had abandoned the East Precinct to rioters, and then officers were prohibited from entering the zone— resulting in numerous cold-blooded killings during the 24 days of sustained violent anarchy.
The lawsuit claims that the city’s failure to provide adequate protection and response to violence in the CHAZ zone contributed to the death of Antonio Mays Jr.
