This is a collection of images which I received in 1998 from the polar orbiting weather satellite NOAA-15. All pictures were received using a home-built FM receiver based on a kit from Holger Eckardt DF2FQ (shown on the picture to the right). With this receiver and a 2m X-Quad antenna I received the automatic picture (APT) transmissions of NOAA-15 and decoded them using the sound card of my PC. The complete station was running fully automated and was controlled by a PC. The pictures are sorted by date of reception. These false colour pictures were generated by using the combined information from both channels: the left channel contains the infrared (IR) image, the right channel contains the visible (VIS) images.
