Weather Image Dumps from NOAA Satellites
The following stuff were used to decode the APT signals from various NOAA satellites,
- RTL-SDR
- QFH Antenna tuned to 137 Mhz
- 1 Mhz - 3 Ghz Wideband LNA
- RPi for handling the exquisiteness of RTL-SDR
- And a dumb PC for decoding the APT signals
Attempt 1: NOAA-19 at 24/05/2018 1941
Even I'm not sure of what this image is supposed to mean :P
Attempt 2: NOAA-19 at 25/05/2018 0400
The APT signal was too noisy despite using LNA, but the decoder managed to get a pretty good image.
Attempt 3: NOAA-19 at 25/05/2018 1640
Third time's the charm and finally an image that I'm proud of xD
Attempt 4: NOAA-18 at 25/05/2018 1720
A little noisy, but WXtoIMG managed to figure out the pass and build an overlay
Attempt 5: NOAA-19 at 27/05/2018 0512
Captured the APT signals of satellite pass completely with noise at both start and end, which decodes to this beautiful piece of image
