MN2-4 KMSS, "Dutch Crops" taken from the eastpass 60 dgr. max elv. so the signal was not strong because of the thermal noise comming from the houses it just flew over.. the good news is: Lime at 75 MSPS no sampledrops ! a next time i'll try 79 MSPS....west pass i hope :)

Elektro L3-LRIT @ 16:42 LT ( GIMP used ) giving the Patchfeed 3 directors, 44 mm, extra gain... ( experimental ,needs more tweaking, but works) 1.10 mtr offsetdish, Airspy-Mini, Sawbird LNA getting closer to HRIT btw, but still needs ~ 1.5 DB+ ( see pictures📸)

Elektro-L3 today with the "helix test-feed" again (16:42 LT transmission) same result (7.2 DB) as with yesterday's patchfeed, so, lots to improve still...

While the "test-Helixfeed" is getting some maintenance, i mounted my loyal old patch-feed, at my offsetdish, not even optimal focused yet, it already produced a nice 7+ DB at L3 -LRIT, while this patchfeed is meant for a deep 0.3 f/d primefocaldish..📡 16:42 and 13:42 LT

Elektro L3 (LRIT - 1691 Mhz) improved the reception by 1.3 DB by adjusting the setup..next will be a helix-feed that performs better in combination with my offsetdish.🫰 Change of weather already to be seen at the Atlantic within a few days🌧️🌧️ well at least it will get warmer.

M class flares are more interesting now that we don't get too many X class flares... the latest M1.2 is below. Audio is sync to x-ray flux and flaring.

L3's LRIT transmission at 13:42 LT, making some progress signal-wise...👩‍🔧 (but still a long way towards receiving HRIT)

It's a shame when you receive a strong 12-13 DB Kanopus-V3 pass, the content is pretty dull....😄 yes, that happens as well....

🌍 1st look at Earth from MTG-I2! MTG-I2 has captured its first image from 36,000km above Earth, just over 2 months after launch. Taken on 20 Oct at 10:45 UTC the full-disc image shows clouds over Northern Europe & North Atlantic, contrasting with clear skies over the Sahara 🧵
