Even at the end, a joy to introduce friends to this practice. We listen to NOAA-15 on the beach, after an evening swim. It's been a hot day, another UK heatwave. Sun going down, tide going out. Eager questions. I explain I'm a bit worried we won't hear anything. I'm also a bit worried about getting sand in my laptop. Pointing the antenna straight out to sea, after the static we grin as the rhythm comes through, steady, strong. We talk about the feeling of listening to the satellite and its likeness to jumping in the sea. Feeling small, insignificant, located, connected.
