I can confirm the weather has been overcast with a little drizzle in the Scottish Borders today

I had a fairly nice pass this morning on M2-4, and looking at the track indicator on satdump I see why I get the scrambling up sometimes on the bottom of the pass, it's due to my HF antenna in the way,(on the low end of the pass) well I'm not going to move that sucker, too big of a job..

. Only problem Im having with sat dump now is the auto map generation has a bug in it so its putting fake landmass outlines on the map...

I do not look at the noaa scans often.I had not noticed that map problem.This is todays 12.00 NOAA19 pass cropped, that problem is still there on the Nightly version.

Looks to be slightly offset to the East on this last pass on NOAA 18 this morning.

It's really bad on NOAA 15, I don't even know were the heck the map is from.

The wxsat computer crashed & now I get this when trying to start Satdump. I get the same having deleted & reinstalled both with latest stable & nightly builds



D: isnt a valid drive - thats the DVD drive! Its all installed into C:\programme files as normal

Yup thats EXACTLY the same problem I was having before the computer crashed & Satdump puked all its settings

The like is for letting me know that it is the same problem.Not that your computer has gone belly up.

Its just Satdump playing up. Its working fine with SDR++ & WXtoImg

A decent pass M2-4 15:39 GMT EL 53.77.
I have got fed up with UTC I have set satdump to local time.

 

[Terryl]

Nice one................I'm back to getting trash from co-located orbits.

It is not too bad here.M2-4 is normally in the afternoon .The NOAAs are in the morning and evening.M2-3 clashes with the NOAAs though, they are in the morning.

Finally a good pass on Meteor M2-4 today, and now I can see why we are getting back into the hot spells, we have an off shore breeze, this causes the fog bank we normally have that cools us down to move off shore, it's supposed to be around 37 C tomorrow and most of this week.

Darn I was looking forward to some cooler weather.

It has stopped raining though you would not think so looking at the M2-4 15.12 GMT EL76.66 pass.

Keep an eye on the mid Atlantic weather systems. Hurricane Kirk is heading this way & may give us some rough weather the end of next week. It wont be a hurricane by then but its likely to be wet & windy

Had the same problem last night but the computer didn't crash, satdump just quit working, shut the PC down and re-started, everything works fine now, the root files are on my "C" drive, but all the directory's are on "E" drive.

And the last pass of Meteor M2-4 was flawless.
