Whatever PCN they have to file, it has to be unique relative to
fixed-position transceivers. I have no idea how they chose to
handle this. Interesting they are using 18 GHz; Down here in the
dense air world, I would not expect 18 GHz to reliably go more
than 10 miles.
However, at a 10 mile altitude, the air density is roughly 1/10
what it is at sea level. At 20 miles, it is around 1/100. That's
getting "close" to a vacuum, so I do not know how to figure the
fade for that.
Aren't the majority of the Starlink sats at about 300 miles?

Are they evenly spaced?
I don't think I've looked close enough at a pcn to see if elevation (angle above horizon) is specified.
Makes me wonder if the PCN is set up with that many beams to coordinate a link that could be pointed in any direction.

I just received my first SpaceX PCNs. They have 71 different azimuth numbers listed in a 18ghz PCN, are they paying the FCC fees for each of these? I haven't seen a PCN like this before, I actually didn't know you could use 18ghz for this application. --
