Intriguing. I concede that I was wrong about Starlink satellite beams. It makes sense that even with phased array beamforming, achieving a single dish-sized footprint on the ground is not feasible. At a 310 mile altitude, a 8 mile radius beam is about 3 degrees wide.
You learn something new every day!
In flashlight terms (my familiar territory), that is decently narrow, but the sheer distance of orbit means that on the ground it's still a large radius.
I am willing to have a discussion. To me, it sounds like your point is that you are exceptionally sensitive to the EMF radiation? If that's the case, I wish you the best in finding a solution.
