starlink satellite passes so far with trees
extracted using https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools
Full data now.
with this many trees, I'm offline for 3 minutes per hour
Note that the obstruction that looks like it's to the due east is really north-east. The inclination of the dish distorts the view some.
I can see why they went with this 3d view, although it is much harder to see the obstructions size and details with it.
#Starlink outage due to obstructions.. all 3 birds it could have used were behind the same NE hillside of trees
lasted 13 seconds
(map from https://satellitemap.space/)
The other obstruction pattern I've seen lead to an outage, this time the trees to the NW also prevented seeing 2 birds, for 17 seconds
(The red lines go to the local ground station; I'm located 1 state north of it.)
Now I'm trying to purposefully obstruct starlink. Stood in front of/over top of it, and ran a speed test...
175 mbps
This was with the birds generally N of it, but it managed to see around/through me
freaky
@joeyh that's about 4× what I get in a relatively affluent suburb of a G7 capital...
getting 220 mbps despite this is pretty great
