@harkank That was a different network. The horns and microwave dishes on that tower were disused, and the tower repurposed as a cell site.

Ah ok, different network., rremember. As you mentioned thíngs going unnoticed in plain sight. Everybody passing by the Russian embassy to the UN in Vienna could see 4 large dishes on top. Nobody cared what they might be doing there for years .
Late in 2022 we shot the roof with zooms & sent a drone up. Voilà: a full blown #SIGiNT station with a dozen dishes. And the NSA watching them from their "stateroom" hut above the nearby US embassy to the UN.

And meanwhile we have sort of re-engineered three of these four-meter dishes and identified their targets. All three are C-band dishes and there are not that many C-band sats around any more in the segment from Greenwich to 15°.
Posted a thread on this lately, always fediverse first, and I'm currently doing a longread for a magazine here.
tl;dr: They are collecting signals intelligence mainly for their African putsch politics
