Weather satellites

Sunday, 30 January 2011

 

I returned to Australia in mid 2009 and have been re-assembling and connecting existing projects since then. One favourite project was the reception of information from weather satellites. NOAA 19 is a recently launched and active satellite.

 

I recently acquired a Wouxun handheld radio with amateur 2M and 70cm capability. On further examination I discovered that it can receive the weather satellite band.
