thinking about that guy who bought a starlink dish and kept losing signal in cold weather since the dish has a heater to stop it freezing and that meant cats would sit on it
heavy metal scientist. sometimes literally. fountain pen enjoyer. queer and more than old enough to remember when you couldn't use the internet and your home phone at the same time

... can somebody who understands antenna theory tell us please that that's safe for the cats? is there a cancer risk for the one who's sitting on top of the parabola's focal point? we hope not?
It's a phased array not a parabolic dish, so there's no focal point in the traditional sense. Transmit power only reaches 2-4 watts afaik so probably not harmful for the cats regardless, especially since it's even longer wavelength than WiFi or common cell bands
