Managed to get SOMETHING out of NOAA 19, using dipole
Everyone knows helix antenna is needed for capturing NOAA satellite images, due to circular polarization of the signal, right?
As I was listening to ISS APRS repeater (with great success!), I noticed NOAA 19 would pass over me shortly. Since the dipole was already set up outside, I decided to give it a go.
Software used:
GQRX to capture the audio
Gpredict to know when to start the recording, and to compensate for the doppler shift
Funny enough, my first NOAA image was using a log periodic TV antenna up on our tower, not at all meant for it but I don't think it did too badly, still need to try it out using a dipole and see how that does, but I've been forgetting to do it and today isn't that great weather wise. Here's an image from back in late April from NOAA-18 (iirc)
