   Well, the StarLink site has advice on that. If in
   the USA and much of Europe it seems more sats are
   to be found in a north-northeast track. Opposite
   south of the equator.

   However they keep adding MORE - so 'banding' gaps
   may soon disappear.

   Hmm ... eventually StarLink sats will solve global
   warming - creating a huge metal shell around the
   entire planet  :-)

   Anyway, there's ONE, somewhat inconvenient, point
   on my house where I might get close to the "ideal"
   alignment without TOO much tree interference. Alas,
   as said elsewhere, I can get VERY bad weather, so
   the commercial mounts would be torn off the building.
   Would have to build something, an all-around frame,
   of hardwood or strong fiberglass angles and then
   anchor that at four distinct points - sort of
   a shallow-angle 'wedge' shape close to the wall.
