For Day 11: Military #31daysofgraves I give you the final resting place of Vickers Wellington Bomber MF509, that crashed at Garreg Goch (Red Stone), in the Brecon Beacons, Wales on 20 November 1944, killing all her Canadian crew. Three memorials now exist, two plaques and a new 2025 addition, a commemorative model added by @ted_coningsby Lest We Forget 🙏

@gerowen as a #hamradio operator, it strikes me that all those satellites would provide a reflective surface for #radio waves as well as sunlight. Radio signals from thousands of miles away would bounce off the satellites and cause interference to local signals.

This would affect broadcast radio, #television, #cellphones, #police, #fire, maritime, #aircraft, and #military

All frequencies on the radio spectrum would hear a constant low level mishmash of distant signals.
