If you are on Facebook, join the "NOAA Weather Fax" group. 

If you are considering building a Quadifilar Helical antenna, I recommend this site for it's applet that will calculate the dimensions for you:

Wouldn't it be nice if all organizations worked this well, with
friendly, helpful members! 

Looks like I've got a new project. 

Thanks folks and have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Dezember 2015 15:12 An: amsat-bb Betreff: [amsat-bb] wtx sats i noticed on the "sat passes page" that na 15, 17, 18, and 19 transmit apt. are these birds still active? i ask because i never see any tracking info on that page (which i think is very helpful, by the way - thanks). also are there any other "receive only" wx satellites/frequencies that may be of interest to an old weather buff, like me? (even if they just transmit wefax) i'm open to any suggestions as per satellites and their frequencies. you can answer my via my private email, if you prefer, or openly - if you figure the amsat group is even interested. thanks in advance
and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all! 73, ben kg4byn --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus [2] [2 [2]] _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB at amsat.org.
