Yes, that completely destroys the information in that band. That is the point, the satellites are using these bands, overpowering what was already naturally there.

Yup. I understand and agree that it would make any work in those bands essentially meaningless.

I'm not by any means giving Elon, or anyone else, a green light to just pollute the airwaves with my comment. Simply put, he should have not done what he did. Star link is a cool concept but it should have gone through more review before being put into orbit. I suspect if that had happened, it wouldn't have been put in orbit.

IMO, it's kind of just space junk at this point.
