US spy satellites built by SpaceX send signals in the “wrong direction”

It seems US didn't coordinate Starshield's unusual spectrum use with other countries.

“But then the question is, can somebody prove that that’s caused a problem?” Reaser said. Other systems using the same spectrum in the correct direction probably aren’t pointed directly at the Starshield satellites, he said.

The signals are there, which is apparent.

But are they just like a navigation beacon - broadcasting a signal at a specific frequency? Or are they coherent signals containing data?

These are SPY SATELLITES. Transmitting a signal means waving a big-assed flag saying, "I'm here!" They announce when they're up there and WHERE THEY ARE if someone wants to passively home in on them and do mean things to them.

So, to ME at least, that's a BIG fucking problem for spy satellites.

Other kinds, probably not so much.
