Jim,

What sort of noise does the antenna of starlink put out? Do you by chance have a screenshot of it?

73, and thanks,

I have not sniffed it closely with the spectrum analyzers, but I don't notice anything on HF.

You will if you do. :) It screams on LF and HF. I added several #31 multi-turn clamp-ons to both AC cable and cable to the dish (flat rectangular panel). My probe is a vintage Kenwood TH-F6A talkie, which has wide-band RX that defaults to a loopstick below 10 MHz, with a software switch to the SMA. The RX is a block of wood below VHF, but it's a very effective noise probe.

20 years ago, when working on an AES Paper on RF susceptibility of pro condenser mics, I also learned that it's an effective RF injector if you key it on and off near a victim and moving along attached cables (the cables are RX antennas, where you inject varies current and voltage at the victim). TX is 2M, 220, and 440 MHz.
