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.

Unseasonably hot for April. A sustained period of dry weather and clear skies. Dusty streets, high pollution and tree pollen adrift. Throat scratch. Can't actually remember the last time it rained. Reports of wild fires on the west coast, on Arran and Bute. It's the school holidays. Another news report of chaos at East coast beaches, masses of people flocking to the sea. Ice cream headaches for North sea dookers. As one of them, met an unexpected headwind cycling east from Arbroath to a beach, but the breeze felt hot. Wind sock dancing. And still cold at night.

"To discuss the weather together = this it’s all the same of talking/ not talking about love." Barthes, The Preparation of The Novel Familiar but ever shifting images. A view from above. From the ground it’s been clear skies, daffodils, fire crackle, cold hands, cold breeze, hot cheeks, happy tears. Familiar but ever shifting images. Always contradictions. To talk/ not talk about love in times of genocide. To talk/ not talk about weather in times like these.

At 12.30 the ground station recorded this pass. At 13.00 I was on the other side of town and heard a sonic boom. Squinted up in the sun to see two low flying jets at high speed, heading out to sea, leaving white trails on a bright blue sky. We aren't far from a military base, after all. Around 15.00 I head to the tower for some checks: increase buffer mins to 2, ensure ventilation around the AGS, check antenna's position. On the roof this time the puddles have dried up and the sky is clear. Some of the old bricks holding the tarp in place have Arbroath imprinted on them, and I wonder when and where in the town they were made. Just a small cold breeze to remind that it's spring, not summer. Daffodils almost seem luminescent in the strong light. Around 16.00 I'm down at the beach, the tide is high, almost all the way up to the sea wall. There's a dead seal that's lost its head and a solid pink plastic bottle left on the stair pillar like an extra ornate twirl. It looks recently left and goes in the bin, the seal looks like it's been there a while.
