    Hi,

    you all know, we had a lot of stormy wind in the past days/weeks, so I just start here a new toppic for "Small Talk".

    Yesterday evening between 20.30 to 23.30 we had a lot of stormy wind ~100km/h at my place (again!). :100:

    Forgot to make a screenshot from UWZ yesterday..., but some posts in my region (and in german) here, click!

    From Merkur.de/DWD (news in german), click!

    All my antenna stystems are running today, ufff! :51:

    /edit: All the big trees from my "western-neighbour" are still there... :171:

    Things here in Cyprus is completely different. July was the warmest one of the last 40 years. We had 26 days of this month that the temp. was over 40 degr. C.
    August is a little bit better than July but the coming weekend will be as hot as July's days .......:37:

    A big storm is forecast for my region tonight. Gusts of up to 120 km/h and even tornadoes are possible. Localised hail of up to 5 cm is also possible.
    I pray that we will be spared... :133:

    qwer at this case i try to align antenna for minimize wind pressure. Then at my region was storm, many trees are been broken with roots. My antennas was alive, but even they was turned on a tightened pipe.

    Hello,
    I was lucky. There was only a brief thunderstorm tonight, but no squalls or hail. It's 10°C cooler this morning than yesterday. :31:

    Schlechte Nachrichten / Bad news

    Zu meinem größten bedauern als Betreiber einer Wetterstation mußte ich zunehmend feststellen, dass es Bildausfälle gab.

    Statusseite der Polar umlaufenden Satelliten (POES) von NOAA.

    NOAA 15:
    Am 16. Juni 2025 um 18:00 UTC beginnt NOAA-15 mit den Tests zum Ende des Missionslebenszyklus.
    Die vom OSPO PDA gelieferten Betriebsprodukte werden eingestellt, und alle Datennutzer, einschließlich der Direktnutzer, sollten die Einstellung der Nutzung von POES-Daten planen.

    NOAA 18:
    Alle MIMU-Laserkreisel der NOAA-18 sind ausgefallen; sie arbeiten seit dem 9. August 2017 (17/229) im RGYRO GYE-Modus.
    Geschätzte Gierfehler: ± 0,5 Grad. AVHRR-Bilder an den Scanrändern weisen Geolokalisierungsfehler auf, sind aber verwendbar.
    Am 31. Mai 2025 führte eine Leistungsreduzierung des STX-4 S-Band XMTR der NOAA-18 zu einer Verschlechterung der Bildqualität und Datenausfällen.
    Am 6. Juni 2025 um 17:40 UTC wurde NOAA-18 außer Dienst gestellt.

    NOAA 19:
    Am 16. Juni 2025 um 18:00 UTC beginnt NOAA-19 mit den Tests zum Ende des Missionslebenszyklus.
    Die vom OSPO PDA gelieferten Betriebsprodukte werden eingestellt, und alle Datennutzer, einschließlich der Direktnutzer, sollten die Einstellung der Nutzung von POES-Daten planen.


    To my greatest regret as the operator of a weather station, I increasingly noticed that there were image dropouts.

    Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) spacecraft status page from NOAA.

    NOAA 15:
    On June 16, 2025 at 18:00 UTC, NOAA-15 will begin End of Mission Life Cycle testing.
    Operational products delivered from OSPO PDA will be suspended and all Data Users to include Direct Users should make plans to discontinue use of POES data.

    NOAA 18:
    All NOAA-18 MIMU laser gyros have failed; operating RGYRO GYE mode since August 9, 2017 (17/229).
    Estimated yaw errors ± 0.5 degrees. AVHRR imagery at scan edges will show geolocation errors but usable.
    On May 31, 2025 NOAA-18 STX-4 S-Band XMTR power reduction resulted in degraded imagery and data drop outs. On June 6, 2025 at 17:40 UTC, NOAA-18 was Decommissioned.

    NOAA 19:
    On June 16, 2025 at 18:00 UTC, NOAA-19 will begin End of Mission Life Cycle testing.
    Operational products delivered from OSPO PDA will be suspended and all Data Users to include Direct Users should make plans to discontinue use of POES data.

    If you don't specify the antenna size and the approximate location, posting is useless if it's about signal acquisition.

    "Auto" should never be in the settings.
