[BC] starlink interference

[Bruce Potterton]

The same antenna works flawlessly with analog receiver, no signal
strength fluctuations and no audible glitches, in winds up to 75 MPH.

Bruce:

I don't know about chain link fences causing this, but I do know of a
case 
wit symptoms exactly as you describe. It was with an Anexter grid dish
and the 
problem was a bad feed horn assembly. Replacing the feedhorn assembly
fixed the 
problem

Before the repair, the problem could be triggeredby giving the tower a
good 
whack, just enough to set up a vibration. The STL went absolutely nuts!
