Ah yes, the old "interference on the tenth harmonic" explanation. Really? Which bands are in use that are interfering? Why are the downlinks not wreaking havoc

  > Why are the downlinks not wreaking havoc today The entire point is the concentration of RF energy per unit space. Downlink from a satellite in LEO, this is fuck all. The uplink, in front of a directional VSAT antenna, this is very significant. The fact you do not understand the difference suggests you are commenting outside the area of your expertise.

    "The uplink, in front of a directional VSAT antenna, this is very significant." This is reasonable, and I fully can understand that direct transmission at reasonable power going into a sensitive receiver can be problematic. In practice I suspect it would require some particularly aggressive intent to aim it such that you see that condition - and of course at the point you are at intent the 'rules' are optional.
