My first NOAA 18 Image!

[degamisu]

This is my first post on here, not sure if this would be suitable for the Gallery collection.

This picture is my first picture ever. I could not get any clear picture before, but after a ton of work making my antenna pick these signals up, I received the cleanest picture ever taken with my setup.

The picture depicts a picture of Antarctica, around the western side. I unfortunately cannot upload this to satNOGS since I use Windows and haven’t set up the API yet.

Congratulations @degamisu ! First decodes are a treat, it is not quite trivial to get everything set up and understood.

Here are some images from NOAA 15 @1800UTC tonight

Well done! Those images are extremely clean! What antenna and SDR did you use?

Its a home built QHF antenna, I find it works best in W FM set to 30kHz for a high elevation pass, if the pass is low you can reduce this to get a better image otherwise you pick up a lot of noise from the edge of the band.
