Ground Station Type

Automatic Ground Stations are local, semi-permanent stations that record and upload satellite transmissions automatically once per day. Manual ground stations are DIY and often mobile; operators manually record and upload satellite transmissions.

n.n.n. collective

The sensing happened on a hill everyone refers to as Teehaus due to the tea house that stands there. The hill allows a North-West-South view over the city valley. It was difficult to climb the hill due to ice and there was a cold wind blowing. Our hands were extremely cold during the sensing. Since the satellite passed only at 49 degrees and the hill we were standing on was not higher than the hills surrounding the valley on the other side, we received only a very weak and partial signal.

2021-01-23 03:51:57

When I woke up I wanted to check the satellite passes for the day and realized there was one happening in that very moment, passing right in front of my window. I quickly assembled the antenna and caught the second half of the pass through the open window of my room.

This stellite pass was recorded while it was snowing. Although the pass was happening at almost 90 degrees it was very difficult to receive the signal. We were standing on a hill that overlooks valleys on both sides. Theoretically there were no large obstructions blocking the signal and the direction of the pass was clear.

The sun was bright although there were clouds in the sky. I remember there were flies and insects in the air. While receiving this image I noticed my mobile network was down, and after returning home I found out that Optus (one of Australia's main data networks) had a nation-wide outage. I am not sure if this would have affected the signal from NOAA15, but I did notice the radio landscape was more clear than normal that morning – however that did not result in a particularly clear image. (This is not the best image of the bike-tenna but the one I took on the day of this capture.)

As the sun rises on the west coast of North America the presidential election is under way. Regardless of the outcome, about half the voting population agrees with a presidential candidate who belittles the prospect of climate change. He called this a hoax played out by China. He withdrew the US from the Paris Accord. He promises to resurrect the US coal industry. And just two days before the election he stated that the cool weather in Pennsylvania is "evidence". The calm Pacific below the bluffs hasn't done much to calm my nerves - yet.
