NOAA Satellite Attempt with RTL SDR (RTL2832), SDR Sharp and WXtoImg

Tried to download the NOAA18 weather satellite picture with the RTL2832, but the signal didn’t last for very long. Probably need a better antenna which is circularly polarized.

NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and their satellites transmit live weather images.

Currently using an outdoor J-pole tuned for around 130Mhz.

RTL SDR (RTL2832) is a low cost software defined radio. You can buy a RTL SDR dongle here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009U7WZCA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009U7WZCA&linkCode=as2&tag=youtube0ae9-20&linkId=RR5VUVIXLMIB43M

Solar Activity is “High and Intensifying,” NOAA Says

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) says solar activity is “high and intensifying,” and radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels have been observed over the past 24 hours. An R3 event can cause a wide-area blackout of HF radio communication and a loss of radio contact for about an hour on Earth’s sunlit side. Low-frequency navigation signals may be degraded for about an hour as well.  A…
