Test and document with photos

The professional Starlink installers arrived as scheduled and began the installation by performing the Starlink Obstructions Test using the Starlink App. This test is designed to identify the optimal location for the dish to receive a good quality and uninterrupted signal from the Starlink satellite.

The Obstructions Test shows a “Good experience” for streaming, browsing, video calls, and gaming. This indicates that this location is ideal for mounting and installing the Starlink dish.

Due to challenging weather conditions, the installation team opted for a pivot mount rather than a traditional pole mount, as it provided a more practical and reliable solution. The pivot mount’s robust design also ensured better stability and resilience against high winds, snow, and other harsh weather elements, making it the ideal choice for this installation.
