2024.12.12 FY-3G | 7790MHz | IR False Color image of the Alps. Adjusted X-Band RF chain boosts signal levels. Still some tracking errors due to poor calibration of the auto-tracking rotator. But because of the cold and wet weather it has to wait to fix that. 73

Night IR view of the dish in park position.

Today with pretty high winds I auto-tracked Fengyun 3D.

Last week I did some test and calibration auto tracking. I use UltraTrack from #USA-Satcom for controlling the dish. This is ofcourse a TimeLapse recording. The original video was 6 minutes and 30 secondes.

Welcome to my BlueSky account! This summer I built a new auto-tracking satellite dish for X-band reception. I made a fold down construction so I can lower the dish in case of absence or high winds.
