EUFI ZK373 off Tel Aviv. Followed by RRR9598. What's going on here?

More interesting traffic bound for the Middle East "Peace Summit". Two American aircraft, including Air Force 1, and a French aircraft.

Keep an eye on this airport. Here we see an American delegation, and French President Macron's aircraft heading to Sharm El-Sheikh. Also on the way, among others, are US President Trump and Canadian PM Carney.

Today's "blue marble" shot from GOES-18. Full disk illumination, max file size, around 2030 UTC / 1:30 PM PDT. Received and processed in Vancouver from 1.7 GHz radio signal using @Nooelec ground station gear (antenna, LNA, SDR) plus a Raspberry Pi running GOEStools.

Quick glance at HF signals propagation and space weather metrics via HamClock, a look at amateur radio balloons aloft via SondeHub, and a look at the 16,265 aircraft currently showing on ADSBexchange via ADS-B.

SAM145 C-32A arriving Sunday 0615z in the UK, and likely heading on to Middle East as advance team for visit by US president on Monday.

More ISS SSTV: 17-20 October.

Heading back to Qatar after signing a deal with that Pentagon guy to run a training facility for Qatari military personnel in Idaho.

Israeli IDF signint aircraft operating off Gaza.

A little METEOR M2-3 action, grabbed at 11 AM PDT, from a pass E of Metro Vancouver. TV rabbit ears antenna, @Nooelec NESDR V5 SDR and LNA. A dreary morning for the PNW region.

Quick glance at HF propagation, along with space and terrestrial weather conditions, as seen via HamClock at 130 UTC / 9:30 AM PDT, from here in Vancouver.

If you enjoy checking out weather maps. Issued Friday evening 8 PM PDT. Vancouver is at the far right.

Canada to the rescue. Blue Angels can't perform. Thunderbirds can't perform? Why? US government shutdown has sidelined these teams. Canada's Snowbirds to the rescue. Not sure if Tr^mp has a tariff on those smoke trails! @sentdefender.extwitter.link

Grok really is impressive for use in the amateur radio field. Here's another example. Actually, most impressive is watching it working to a conclusion and showing its evolving "thinking" as it works through the problem. I asked Grok to tell me about this signal.

E-6 Mercury out of Omaha at 1945z. #AE7E67. No callsign. No reg.

Lovely infrared shots from METEOR M2-4 early this morning as the weather satellite passed nearly overhead for Metro Vancouver. TV rabbit ears antenna (arranged as a horizontal V-dipole), @Nooelec hardware (LNA, Nesdr SMArt V5 SDR), Raspi NOAA V2 processing software.

What's up with ATSC 3.0, and might it bring an end to OTA TV? www.pcworld.com/article/2935...

Very good HF propagation over past 24 h (100 countries heard via FT8, 10-160 m bands), although quiet during the overnight hours (second image taken around 0645 UTC / 1145 PM PDT here in Vancouver).

Using SkyRoof as part of an APRS iGate. SkyRoof is running my @SDRplay RSPdx which in turn is connected to a Wimo TA-1 Turnstile antenna, here in Vancouver. Direwolf is shown here decoding the packets picked up in SkyRoof.

FT8 signals from 99 countries over the past 24 h. Monitoring in Vancouver with a PDSDR unit, listening to 16 frequencies simultaneously, covering 10 m through 160 m. Using an MLA-30+ loop antenna. Vancouver.

Wrapping up the week-long @ARISS_Intl ISS SSTV event transmitted from the Russian module aboard the space station and commemorating World Space Week and the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957.

M7.4 temblor, Baculin, Philippines.

Current setup for receiving and processing signals from the METEOR weather satellites. V-dipole / TV rabbit ears antenna, @Nooelec Sawbird NOAA LNA, @Nooelec NESDR SMArt SDF, Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspi NOAA V2-4 software. @pdxh0b0.bsky.social @zl3gav.bsky.social

2025 Nobel Prixe in Chemistry...

Beauties from METEOR MN2-4 at 3:30 PM. My Raspberry Pi system spent 15 minutes processing this signal into these images.

Almost perfect! ISS World Space Week SSTV event. Thank you @arissintl.bsky.social.

What is this? Centered around 145.8 MHz.

Wonderful shots from METEOR-M2-3 at 10:15 PM this evening, From a pass W of Metro Vancouver. Interestingly, signal cuts off at Vancouver's latitude.

Complete! Well, almost. Only have half of image 5! ISS October World Space Week SSTV event. Display 1: My own Google Doc with a Gemini-designed background and a table for the image cells. Display 2: Online generator from ARISS: ariss-ea.org/sstv-mosaic @n4jaw.bsky.social @hamradiotoday.org

More CME/solar action and once again a bit of pullback in HF propagation.

Four beauties from METEOR M N2-4 at 3:45 PM this afternoon, from a high westerly pass for Metro Vancouver. Still some signal dropout but for a $10 antenna I can't complain. @seattlewxguy.bsky.social @yvrwxwatcher.bsky.social @weatherchaser5.bsky.social @northbendwx.bsky.social

Stunning shots from METEOR M2-3 at 10:45 AM PDT today. Received with a cheap (and broken) set of TV rabbit ears antenna, along with @Nooelec LNA and SDR, and a Raspberry Pi running Raspi NOAA V2-4 software. Spot the PNW stratovolcanoes! @seattlewxguy.bsky.social @kc3cdu.bsky.social

Yes! Managed two, admittedly weak, images from the special UmKA-1 SSTV event. You really notice the Doppler shift at 70 cm!

A basket of riches for SSTV afficionados. Here's another one. From UmKA-1, one of the 70 cm satellites. Robot36 mode. More challenging but shorter duration image transmissions.

Today's "blue marble" shot from GOES-18, taken at 2030 UTC / 1:30 PM PDT. Received via 1.7 GHz radio signal using @Nooelec ground station gear (dish antenna, LNA, SmarTee XTR SDR, along with GOEStools processing software running on a Raspberry Pi). Note hurricanes Octave and Priscilla.

Very good HF propagation conditions over the past 24 h. Here we see HamClock FT8 mapping over the past 30 minutes, and PSKreporter mapping for FT8 signals heard by my 10-160m monitoring station in Vancouver.

METEOR M2-3, from a directly overhead pass for Metro Vancouver. Too bad about signal loss but spectacular shots nonetheless. Take a look at some of the detail.

Rebound! HF propagation metrics looking good this morning (Vancouver time) and over the past 24 h. @n4jaw.bsky.social @hamradioworld.bsky.social @hamradiotoday.org @kc3cdu.bsky.social

US government shutdown leads to this. Canada to the rescue. Tracking shots from me. Facebook post credit as shown.

Today's "blue marble" shot from GOES-18/eastern Pacific, taken at 2100 UTC / 2 PM PDT. Check out that developing cyclone off Mexico. Actually twin hurricane systems, Octave, and Priscilla. Received and processed from 1.7 GHz radio signal here in Vancouver.

Current best ISS SSTV images from the October event. First version is from the online template at ARISS: ariss-ea.org/sstv-mosaic Second version is my own creation in Google Docs with a page background image created in Gemini. I am using a 4x4 table to hold the images and the title bar.

ISS SSTV Event so far. 11/12 images, not all perfect or complete. Still need all of 6 and half more for 5. 1 and 8 need better versions.

Ahead of Vancouver sunrise this Sunday morning.

Gorgeous details in these infrared and thermal shots, along with a two-pass composite, from the METEOR satellites overnight. Look at the valley detailswhich stand out because of temperature differences.

More METEOR M2-3 action from 9:45 PM PDT this evening, from a nearly overhead pass for Metro Vancouver.

Four beauties from METEOR M2-4 at 3:15 PM this afternoon, from a paszs E of Metro Vancouver. Lots of fine detail in these images. TV rabbit ears antenna, @Nooelec LNA and NESDR V5 SDR, processing with Raspi NOAA V2.

Snowbird taking off from Los Alamitos Army Airfield Base in Los Angeles area (near Long Beach Airport). At 2:45 PM PDT.

Sputnik 1: October 4 1957.

ISS SSTV Event so far... Thank you @arissintl.bsky.social.
