Dear all, I am experiencing signal strength problems after refurbishing my HRPT dish set-up. If aerials and their design are your field (they certainly aren't...
Gentlemen: The following was copied from today's AF Magazine Report here in the States. Looks like not everyone is happy (as mentioned on here previously) No...
First the timestep dish seems to be a different type than the old wefax dish. The basic dish is prob a parabola shape, but the wave then (if I understand your...
Hi Rob, Do you know when the picture of the "new cloud" was taken 1st June at 10:00 UT? We should see it on HRPT, Metop or maybe even APT? Patrik ... From:...
Hi Alan, In fact the entire MAREX website appears to have gone. No problem though as a solution is provided by http://www.archive.org/ It works with any broken...
The TV programme about the Cloud Appreciation Society showed a meeting with the Royal Meteorological Society where the claim was made for a new cloud type...
Terence, I have found using a number of 1" square mirrors mounted around and just inside the circumference of the dish, then pointed towards the sun gives a...
... Dale, that's a really clever trick I'd not heard of. It's a little impractical at present, with the dish being mounted quite high on the roof (for which I...
... Andy, Yes, just a wider segment from a larger parabola (I hope) ... I have just been told by someone that the old can feed had its effective focal point...
Hello Patrick, both dishes were prime focus, so I assumed they were just varying sized segments of the same parabola. I have seen one or two off-set dishes...
Hi Terence, Oh no, the yagis are small (4 x 700 mm long) and extremly light (~1 kg). I built my stack using copper wires and fiberglass tubes from old fishing ...
Thanks Patrik, I will put this intriguing method (also suggested by Dale) to the test because it will require the least initial disturbance of the dish...
Another "important" consideration, if you are using a helical feed, is a ' tuning stub ' mounted under the coil. Further improvements can be had by 'tuning'...
Dale, the feed is the 'as issued' Timestep one on its original reflector plate. I've simply remounted it on another dish on longer support legs. If it's of...
To Dale and Patrik ( & Jerry), I now have the mirrors, but the eight-eighths smoke is getting in the way! Patience is a virtue so they say .................. ...
I've been having problems posting to the MSG-1 list - so apologies for using the GEO list. Still in the throes of sorting out reception problems and I'm...
... Robert, I answered your post on the MSG-1 Yahoo group - it took a few hours to arrive. The HRPT data has indeed been excellent. I've been using the data...
Hi everyone. Weather Graphics has produced a detailed analysis of the weather conditions that existed over the tropical Atlantic at the time Air France 447...
Folks may be interested in the following : http://www.weathergraphics.com/tim/af447/ it shows satellite imagery used alongside other data to create an...
Many thanks, Malcolm. It make very interesting reading and although I do not understand many of the technicalities, it does sound as if those poor folk on ...

Folks, I have received the following notice: ______________________________________ This Thursday (June 11th, 2009) Yahoo! Groups will be undergoing ...
Does anyone use the cloud mask CLM (in MPEF)? I have the feeling that this is only of use to the meteorologists for very specialised purposes, but do any of...
