Despite planning to capture a high elevation NOAA-19 pass, when I loaded SDR++ it is NOAA-18's beep beep that I hear. I hit record before shifting frequencies, leaving NOAA-18 over the Balkans and picking-up NOAA-19's rising signal as the satellite crosses Finland. Unable to see my laptop's screen in the sun, I try but fail to stop and restart the recording, and so the software creates a long, stacked image.

In Vienna, we have had so much rain: light drizzle, heavy down pours, buckets, silvery mists, and sudden showers. It has also stayed unseasonably cold. Yet, since yesterday afternoon, the air has warmed and warmed until the temperature climbed to a body-loosening 28 degrees Celsius. The change has been so abrupt, it’s like the air arrived from somewhere else, already dried and heated. I will check the wind direction when home.
