RTL-SDR NOAA Satelite Update
So the last time I wrote about my adventures into the world of software defined radio satellite reception I was dealing with some local FM radio stations really messing with my radio's ability to get a clear sat signal. This proved to be a difficult challenge to overcome as the same interference would be present, and sometimes stronger even if I went to the roof of a building to take the measurement. Nevertheless I got some nice images which are in prior posts. One of the advantages of software defined radio is that the data is read through a computer and so the radio can be made easily accessible by connecting it to a server. Many hobbyists have set up publicly accessible radios by doing this and some of them are very good resources for those living in areas with poor reception or lots of interference. You can find many of these at http://websdr.org . One radio in particular, http://k3fef.com:8902/ is equipped with a quadrifilar helicoidal antenna much like my own and is sc...
