Just a minor nitpick - that's 22,300 miles above the equator at sea level.
You're probably closer to 22,500 miles away from the bird (as could your
uplink). That's just rough math adding the tangent of 1500 miles from the
equator in my head (plus the tangent of the curve distance from that base
line and angle of the bird :) ).
