My understanding is that in the near future, subject to Eumetsat agreement, NOAA 18's APT will be switched from VTX2 to VTX1 ie 137.100 MHz. Watch this space...

I raise a pint to the memory of NOAA 12 which has provided tremendous APT imagery for many years. I began working in direct readout in 1992 with my first...
Very sad to read this. I note that the last contact from Southampton today (August 10) is 1653UT - 1708UT....... Should be interesting! regards Lawrence...
