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.

Alba Iulia, Romania

To start, I want to present you my "rig" :)). A Baofeng UV5r and a crude V-dipole made from copper pipes and some coax. The antenna as for now lives on a long stick. Trough these images you can also see some random photos from my gallery that I thought looked cool. If you want a representation of the current weather look at the photo with the mountain, that's pretty much it. Now for some more in depth data: the temperature today was 29 Celsius, Humidity 60%, wind ~5km/h, dew point 13 C, pressure 1018mb. Night temperature expected to be around 13 C. As for final thoughts I want to say that just I got into radios and NOAA satellites they decide to decommission them :`((. But I'm happy that the NOAA 19 still transmits images. I want to tell you that I'm also in the process of getting my CEPT Novice license, I have no idea how to translate this for people from other countries, but search it on Google. Have a nice day!!

A Satellite Pass from PAF, with a gorgeous full moon rising in the south-east during the pass of NOAA-19. Got worried when the squelch level cut out the audio so we quickly reset, but something to learn for next time!

Pacific Palisades, California, United States

NOAA 15 was flying by with a great exposure of 88°, so I went for a short hike into the Santa Monica Mountains. The marine layer, known here as "June Gloom", is starting to burn off earlier in the morning as it was today. Most of the burned lots from the Palisades Fire have been cleared, but you can still hear some jackhammers at work. Six months after the start of the Palisades Fire most of the terrain is covered with plants. The burnt skeletons of taller shrubs have fresh, knee-high growth at the base. A friendly assortment of wildflowers bring yellow, orange, purple, white and red to the scene. Scarlet larkspur was showing off near the satellite capture. After decoding the digital file, I was disappointed in the missing infrared channel. Looking at other NOAA 15 submissions, this seems to be a pattern. With the demise of NOAA 18, it looks like NOAA 15 may be next.
