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.

A noisy sounding in poor conditions, but, as always, the grain emphasises the material frictions at play.

Greenwich Park , UK

22 degrees, mostly sunny. Alex and I climbed up the Greenwich Park 20 mins before NOAA 19 would pass our horizon. It was a beautiful spot with a good view of the sky, the thames and the Canary Wharf skyline. Standing in Greenwich Park, listening to a satellite getting decommissioned in the US, thinking of the thousands walking in the No-Kings Protest, listening to the last breaths of the satellite in solidarity. We saw the start of a beautiful sunset on the hill. I thought of Gaza, I thought if the crimson and orange of the sunsets would still look so beautiful amidst all the smoke and the rubble? I think I would sometimes hear the beep boops of the NOAA satellite in my dreams - Alex agrees.

Greenwich Park , UK

Alex and Prajvi We were out of breath when we reached the top of the hill, and the sun was low, casting warm golden light through the trees. The signal was clear once we found it and the reading took on a strangely religious, almost elegiac feeling. A last goodbye to something intangible to us, a quiet communion with something higher. As the satellite dipped below the horizon with the sun slowly following, the signal was lost in crackling noise. The weather was slightly cloudy. We traced the coasts of France and Spain.

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!!
