<div dir="auto">If you take zenith at the example, start looking due South. Raise your sights up until you hit 25° elevation - you can start transmitting then. Keep going up in elevation, once you reach 72°, you need to stop transmitting. Keep going up until you reach 90° (zenith), then keep going due North, now dropping elevation. When you get to 72° towards North, you can start transmitting again, until you drop to 25°.<br />

If you click on a satellite on my tracker you will see the region blocked by GSO, based on the satellite’s latitude (beware of weird date line effects, try it over Africa).</div>

Thank you.<br />
<br />
If it goes all the way from East to West, how can one run any Starlink<br />
there?<br />
<br />
Does the protection area go from East to West via North, but Starlink<br />
could use East to West via South? Or the other way round?<br />
<br />
Or is the protection band only at certain angles off the ground?<br />
<br />
I think I get the 37° at Zenit - Zenit +18 and -18.<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
