Made an updated version of this video that looks at a much better satellite and gives images of the entire planet at once. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/jGWFg7EDnyY/видео.html
Can you believe it that there are Flat-Earth people out there that say that satellites don't exist? And they claim that "satellites" are land-based transmitters put there secretly by the government to fool the people? Ridiculous! [Anyway, keep up the good work!]
I was wondering if it was possible to take pictures from a satellite and I found pure gold, this is amazing guys. I've learned a lot from you, impressive!
LOL, was gonna post a url to your site, but here you are. You guys do a great job, although I don't like the new format recently introduced. I used to see a composite image of my region. Now I must select individual bands of much larger, more obscure region profile. More info, but TOO much for the layman like me. Fine problem to have, tho. HUGE FAN of NOAA!
Now you know how NASA feels when they play Kerbal Space Program, learning by doing is far more effective than sitting and listening. If you want to learn something new, go and do it.
Hahahaha, M34T, you're hilarious. Are you a flat earther, or? Also, to note - Americans never used Chinese spacecraft to get to orbit, and the usage of the Soyuz capsule to get to the ISS isn't a bad thing, both Russia and the U.S., along with many other countries were involved in the construction of the ISS, an international project. Space shouldn't be about nationalism.
Hahahaha, you know NASA isn't just about "taking us to space and leading the way", right? Most of NASA's work is in Earth science, and monitoring weather. And, most U.S. companies, actually, use American companies to send up their satellites, usually with ULA. NASA's budget goes into way more things than whatever it is that you define as "taking us to space and leading the way" - presumably, flashy launches of humans. NASA still continues to launch probes and missions to space, and if you, for some reason, don't care about robotic exploration, they are currently developing and testing multiple methods of launching humans into space, I'd honestly be surprised if you never heard of the Orion capsule or the SLS. Making this some sort of weird nationalistic thing isn't helping anyone.
Just a little hint: When building wire antennas, start by rolling the wires between 2 sheets of e.g. MDF to get them straight. 3D print support structures to keep the shape.
This seems like a valuable skill set for a prepper - I imagine after a disaster the satellites would still be transmitting so real-time satellite imagery would be extremely valuable
Way to go I studied RF in the military the information that you gave out was really good and spot on super impressed keep up the good work you’re the future of our world
Great video. Thank you. I built a quadrifilar helix antenna for NOAA satellite reception about 10 years ago and it worked great. One radio project you might want to try is radio meteor detection. I run a system where I listen for meteors using a 20 meter dipole and monitor an out of range TV station. Meteors temporarily ionize the air creating a path that can cause the out of range station to come in for a moment. My system counts and collects data but it is fun to even just listen to the "ping" sounds when monitoring CW or SSB mode especially during a meteor shower.
I wonder if it's possible to have an Arduino connected to this setup too, controlling some servo motors mounted on the antenna, so it would track the satellite just as we do with telescopes... Could this improve the signal even more?
Holy sh*t! I tought this was some clickbait video where you just explain how you could do it,but you actually made a real antenna to get the images. This is really amazing! 🙂🙂😀 Thanks for the quality content! I wish you the best!

@D Brown This depends if the channel is made for free access.

Time to do this again after 25yrs or so, I set up the lunchtime weather centre in secondary school, the school had the equipment for a while but didn't know what to do with it.

Always a satisfying sound when the signal started and images appeared. The system is probably still there abandoned and in bits in a cupboard somewhere, would love to have it,particularly the dedicated wideband receiver.
Hey there, just a quick advice... Instead of wood use if possible MF protective electrical tubing. At least here in europe it is easy to optain in DIY shops and from electro resellers. Wood, especially when wet acts as a conductor. The effect might seem small at first, but when you take in consideration that you are dealing with sub micro volt signals... every single bit counts. Oh and since we're on topic: with the tubes you can also easily build helical antennas. Just wrap your copper around it. It hast a much better suppression of enviromental noise and a far better gain. You could even build an array of four Helicals with a bearable footprint and weight. Contact your local hams, ARRL, DARC and what not. There are always people happy to help you get a hold on this hobby. vy73

Just found this. I actually built a WEFAX radio kit from MAPLIN Electronics back in the early 90s (the kit was called MapSat). It used a cross-dipole and I added a pre-amp to pick up these same NOAA and METEOR weather satallites. the audio went into a DAC box which had cards that slotted in which locked onto the signal parts for the selected format. This then sent signals out to an 8 pin output and passed into a computer via a printer port (or I/O card). I wrote machine code on an Amstrad CPC and Amiga to display them. Had to manually adjust the frequecy (around 135.5 Mhz) to account for doppler shift as the satellite passed over. Good times. Geostationary satellites are much more complicated. But a challenge.
Just a comment on this. We are talking about satellites. WEFAX is typically a transmission over HF or Short Wave frequencies. Many programs for satellite decoding will work on WEFAX, but that would be something different. The signal can sound a lot the same, but you would need a short wave receiver and long outside antenna to get the WEFAX signals.
+Steve Smith Exactly. While one can in principle receive satellite imagery with WEFAX, the signals as you said do not come directly from satellites, but are re-broadcast via HF (so, from ground stations). In the early 90s I had great fun with WEFAX. I received mainly Sigwx charts from meteorological stations thousands of km away, using an FSK demodulador connected to the PC's audio card "line in" port and "PC HF Facsimile" software from company called SSC (which unfortunately no longer does business in this weather Rx niche). I consistently got very good, clear images.
Not only is this a great tutorial on how to get images from weather sats, it's also a wonderful introduction to radio and antenna theory. Great job! Go get your amateur radio license, kids. Learn to make radio waves of your own! Talk back to the satellites!
You guys are downright brilliant! 312 flat Earthers hated it (without even trying downloading for themselves, of course) which makes it even more wonderful and delicious. A Air Force technician-friend of mine, obviously way smarter than me, in the '80 wrote a program on my TRS-80 to calculate and track satellite orbits. He even wrote assembly code to real-time decode Morse signals, which at the time was incredibly impressive. Your work is of the same caliber. Amazing, and my hat off!
So will showing the cost line of the USA, Will that work aganst them? Or was there more than that? I mean their case must be pretty weak if thats all it takes is fuzzy pic from space showing a cost line,
@@erickinney7482 FE think everything we have launched was thrown in the sea. Showing them a satilite in orbit blows there little minds. Unfortunately... they give us humans more credit than we deserve thinking we can pull of the largest, most expensive and farthest reaching con in human history capable of deceiving everyone and masking their "true" reality nice n neat in our *made-up* maths. Still haven't gotten a consistent answer for why though... Everything from religion to power plays.
Thanks for taking time to make the video-great info! I'd like to respectfully suggest that videos such as these convey more clearly when there isn't background music with a strong beat overriding the speech (no matter how low volume it is) i thought it lowered the quality of this video.
The EM propagation is slower in the antenna material and coax (copper, aluminum, etc) than c. See/research velocity factor. Cutting assuming c, may give slightly incorrect lengths.
Do it! it's such a simple project but with such awesome results. If you do end up replicating, this and building your own, there may be opportunities to collaborate on a big community project in the future. Glad you enjoyed :)
You should join the Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) club in your area. Its relatively easy to get your Tech license and only cost $15. Then you can build antenna just like you did in this video, but now you can do things like actually talk to the International Space Station when it fly's over. Or do fun things like hidden transmitter hunting (fox hunt) where you use directional antennas to find a hidden transmitter. Along with making contacts all over the world using satellites or skip propagation. You will need the next license (General) to do the skip propagation. Just thought I would mention it seeing as your interest line up pretty well with the Amateur Radio Hobby.
I know you're into radio so maybe this isn't what you want, but if you point a camera on a tripod, at night, in the general direction of of the satellite and do a time exposure, the stars will trail but the satellites will show up as point sources. you could match this to your radio data.
And to add to what ABaumstumpf said, the LEO satellites relative speed will make them leave streaks in any image that is much longer than what the stars leave from the Earth's rotation.
I see this is an older video, but it looks like many people are still watching it (including me). In early 2017 I managed to receive some of the SSTV pictures that the ISS sent over 2 meters by using a Bearcat Scanner hooked to a 2 meter J-pole! Didn't think it would work, but was pleasantly surprised! (decoded the SSTV with MMSSTV)
Anyone know if data from NOAA-20 will eventually be accessible once it's operational? It was just launched last weekend (currently named JPSS-1 until operational).
Tj Wiets, direct broadcast services continue to be available from all NOAA POES and GOES spacecraft. However, the low rate analog formats demonstrated in this video (for N15,18,19) are no longer produced in the newer spacecraft. The newer spacecraft (including the partner instruments on the NASA EOS and MetOp A/B spqcecraft) produce only High Rate ("digital") data that require the decoding tools demonstrated in the video. Search for "direct broadcast" if you want to learn more.
Fun Fact: NPOESS (the cancelled program that evolved into JPSS) was supposed to have an LRPT Transmission mode, much like the Russian Meteor 3M series has. But that was cut when it became JPSS.
@@bryanbreen7943 This will always be the case with digital broadcasts as by definition the broadcast is simply a number it is the interpretation of that number that gives the versatility. That fact actually reminds me of the time they tried to crack down on sharing the broken CSS key and finding other ways to encode a number became a meme. Turns out this works well both ways you can encode anything in a number and you can encode a number in pretty much anything too especially when you have a computer and anything it produces is literally just encoding something in a number of arbitrary length.
This is a very good video. It cleared up some things for me and I learned a lot. Ironically I woke wondering about the best antenna for this application. I was going to build a QHF until I saw this video.. I think I'll build a double cross antenna instead. I'm looking forward to trying this when my SDR-RTL v4 comes in the mail. Thanks
The fact that they had to follow the signal source as it moved across the sky AND it produced an image of a large portion of the United States tells us that satellites exist and move very fast. Even the highest flying drone or balloon would not be able to get a single image that large. Plus, if you look at any airplane, you'll notice that its GPS antenna is located on the top of the airplane (in the direction of space) rather than on the bottom (in the direction of some "Earth-based tower").
JustWasted3HoursHere indeed they do you can see a good number of them on a clear sky with nothing more than your naked eyes. They look much better close up with binoculars/telescope though.
Before anyone spends a long time trying to build one of these complicated antennas, try to make a V-dipole, with the elements 120° apart, its more compact, easy to make, and has a near-perfect omnidirectional radiation pattern
You can straighten wire by taking a long run of it, putting one end in a vice, holding the other end tightly with pliers, hold the wire with slack, then with one hard movement yank the wire really hard. We use this method in aviation to straighten safety wire.
I use a regular discone MFJ-1866 (in my attic) for this and it works just fine. It also takes about 5 minutes to assemble and it covers a huge bandwidth.
I agree that it would be faster and less troublesome but i woud not watch if it was only an aleatory exercise. Learning first hand is different than downloading información from others. Analog to how watching somebody test and experiment is much more interesting than seeing somebody pull together stuff.
Wayne Johnson wait until we get GOES. we see a full globe. we want to coordinate with people around the world to build up a full 360 globe. the flat earthers are gonna be real mad. But that's for later ;)
Results would be inconclusive. You'd need to be far away to prove the globe, or else you're just custom tailoring a composite image to fit the globe mask.
Strange Faction They are not experiencing those temperature extremes like you imagine because the molecular density in and above the thermosphere is so little that the satellite might not encounter molecules for the transfer of heat to take place for long periods of time. In other words, something in space only encounters heat when it comes in contact with a molecule, and that is rare is space.
FPV Angel What do Zero Gravity (parabolic) flights have to do with passengers in a commercial aircraft flying to different destinations around the world? And no unsupported claims please. You already made one in your last post by claiming “evidence would have to be faked as it always is”. I’m also curious to know what active field research you’re currently involved in concerning this subject.
FPV Angel NASA and other entities only references a flat plane in instructional documentation because for those purposes including a curve isn’t relative to the documentation. And you’re point about an airplane having to fly AROUND a globe therefore putting people into a free fall. Ok, I see what and who I’m dealing with here. I’m going to assume you believe what you’re saying for a second (hard to believe that you would). Your statements are GIBBERISH. Like a five year old who’s brain is too young and experienced to understand logic and reason, not to mention science, math and the world around them, they might conjure up something like this in their thoughts. And quit trying to pretend your some sort of mystic with statements like “Oh, I find what has been hidden.” You’re like that guy who has a globe and an airplane and thinks that people who fly from New York to Australia would land upside down. Is that all the brain power you have? Look, our conversation is over.
Hello, With the moon in mind, Where's a 24 live feed of the earth from the moon? There's no way. Where's unbroken dash cam or astronaut helmet footage of a real trip from earth's surface to space? Never. Search "satellites are on balloons". See videos. (Also interesting "ISS HOAX") "Nasa green screens" e.t.c also. Best wishes
Good way to straighten wire: Clamp one end in a vice, grab the other end with pliers (vice grips work well), then hammer a bit on the pliers. It stretches the wire a bit but pulls out kinks very well.
You don't need to build a fancy antenna. You just need to have an antenna that is tuned for your frequency correctly. There are inexpensive devices that can test what your antenna is tuned to
Fun stuff. I was pulling WEFAX in the early 90s with a fixed turnstile antenna, a GaAs fet amp (mounted of the roof with the antenna), a radio-shack scanner modded with a wider ceramic filter, its audio feed a PLL whose signal went to a Analog Devices ADC. The parallel bytes were went to the parallel printer port of an XT clone PC, a nibble at a time. You see, back then parallel ports were not bidirectional so I was using the control lines. Some C code fetched the bits and mapped to the the tack-sharp paper-white VGA (My first 'useful' Turbo C project!) and the images were no too bad. The Doppler effect shifts the frequency a bit so that is a bit of a challenge in reception and rendering the image. I had corrections for Doppler induced slope since my samples were taken using a watch-crystal. In hindsight I should have locked sampling to the signal shift. What's Amazing is that, through Google, that old turnstile antenna is still visible in satellite images (I just looked now). Still on the roof of my parent's house after more than 25 years! Maybe everyone thought it was a sculpture?
Straightening wires is done by clamping one end in a vice (mounted to a sort of solid base) and the other end clamped in a pair of vice grips. Pulling the wire Straightens it . If you hold a brick or other heavy object, slack the wire a bit (maybe 10% of the length you try to straighten and pull rapidly you put quite a bit of force on the wire and it will go very straight... Then you can cut your pieces...

Just found this. I actually built a WEFAX radio kit from MAPLIN Electronics back in the early 90s (the kit was called MapSat). It used a cross-dipole and I added a pre-amp to pick up these same NOAA and METEOR weather satallites. the audio went into a DAC box which had cards that slotted in which locked onto the signal parts for the selected format. This then sent signals out to an 8 pin output and passed into a computer via a printer port (or I/O card). I wrote machine code on an Amstrad CPC and Amiga to display them. Had to manually adjust the frequecy (around 135.5 Mhz) to account for doppler shift as the satellite passed over. Good times. Geostationary satellites are much more complicated. But a challenge.
Just a comment on this. We are talking about satellites. WEFAX is typically a transmission over HF or Short Wave frequencies. Many programs for satellite decoding will work on WEFAX, but that would be something different. The signal can sound a lot the same, but you would need a short wave receiver and long outside antenna to get the WEFAX signals.

Exactly. While one can in principle receive satellite imagery with WEFAX, the signals as you said do not come directly from satellites, but are re-broadcast via HF (so, from ground stations). In the early 90s I had great fun with WEFAX. I received mainly Sigwx charts from meteorological stations thousands of km away, using an FSK demodulador connected to the PC's audio card "line in" port and "PC HF Facsimile" software from company called SSC (which unfortunately no longer does business in this weather Rx niche). I consistently got very good, clear images.
You say opposite to Einstein's relativity conjecturing, then
Speed of light is Not supposed to be altered by the speed of its source.
Best example of Doppler Shift ever is at 10:18. Great work, new sub.
Parabéns pelo trabalho de vocês e pela divulgação 👏🏼👏🏼
Your channel is addicting to us science geeks!!!
That was a fantastic recommendation from RUclips. Awesome videos, keep it up!
Not only is this a great tutorial on how to get images from weather sats, it's also a wonderful introduction to radio and antenna theory. Great job!
Go get your amateur radio license, kids. Learn to make radio waves of your own! Talk back to the satellites!
wow. this was..janky AF, but such a cool Project and props for pulling through even though you had very limited Tools and all. Very cool video
Great simulation of field-antennae interaction at 2:20 and 2:50. Enjoyed that.
12:07 "You can clearly see Buenos Aires" and points to Uruguay
Buenos Aires is that grey spot just below Uruguay
loads of fun! I've been experimenting with NOAA imageyfor a bit now and I'll be attempting METEORM2 data soon.
Hooly fucking shit... More, please... If only i knew this when i was a kid
uk...you are paranoid,you fool.
I might say this stuff wasn't available for general public when you were a kid, so no regrets to have.
You guys are downright brilliant! 312 flat Earthers hated it (without even trying downloading for themselves, of course) which makes it even more wonderful and delicious. A Air Force technician-friend of mine, obviously way smarter than me, in the '80 wrote a program on my TRS-80 to calculate and track satellite orbits. He even wrote assembly code to real-time decode Morse signals, which at the time was incredibly impressive.
Your work is of the same caliber. Amazing, and my hat off!
Flat Earth community ain't gonna like this HAHAHAHA
FEs be like: "this dude is working for NASA and getting paid to post these things", also "i'm too dumb to do this so i call it BS"
Iuri Scheidegger
Dude, I was just thinking the exact same thing.
So will showing the cost line of the USA, Will that work aganst them? Or was there more than that? I mean their case must be pretty weak if thats all it takes is fuzzy pic from space showing a cost line,
eric kinney
Flat earthers don’t believe satellites exist, so showing them pulling images from satellites would make them angry.
@@erickinney7482 FE think everything we have launched was thrown in the sea.
Showing them a satilite in orbit blows there little minds. Unfortunately... they give us humans more credit than we deserve thinking we can pull of the largest, most expensive and farthest reaching con in human history capable of deceiving everyone and masking their "true" reality nice n neat in our *made-up* maths.
Still haven't gotten a consistent answer for why though... Everything from religion to power plays.
Great work 👌
Greetings from north Africa (Algerian dezert)
first time i had hit a bell. This is just awesome. keep it up
Thanks for taking time to make the video-great info!
I'd like to respectfully suggest that videos such as these convey more clearly when there isn't background music with a strong beat overriding the speech (no matter how low volume it is)
i thought it lowered the quality of this video.
Very awesome! Also, Amateur Radio operators like myself can use voice communication through various communications satellites.
Так у вас поляризация антенны была левая, а сигнал со спутника с правой поляризацией. Еще бы антенна работала. Молодцы! Хорошая работа)
The EM propagation is slower in the antenna material and coax (copper, aluminum, etc) than c. See/research velocity factor. Cutting assuming c, may give slightly incorrect lengths.
I love this!!! Showing people what doesn't work as well is just as cool as show us what finally did work! - Easy sub!
Vocês são brasileiros? Se forem, é incrível verem pessoas como vocês fazendo algo tão intrincado e complexo, parabéns!
I like how cloudy is sunny in Brazil
This is fucking awesome! Nice work guys! I'm jelly now and really want to replicate now! Can't wait to see the next vid!
Do it! it's such a simple project but with such awesome results. If you do end up replicating, this and building your own, there may be opportunities to collaborate on a big community project in the future. Glad you enjoyed :)
@@thethoughtemporium i did it with the cheap antenna that came with the sdr, just set the ends to 53.4 cm and connect it up
You should join the Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) club in your area. Its relatively easy to get your Tech license and only cost $15. Then you can build antenna just like you did in this video, but now you can do things like actually talk to the International Space Station when it fly's over. Or do fun things like hidden transmitter hunting (fox hunt) where you use directional antennas to find a hidden transmitter. Along with making contacts all over the world using satellites or skip propagation. You will need the next license (General) to do the skip propagation. Just thought I would mention it seeing as your interest line up pretty well with the Amateur Radio Hobby.
I know you're into radio so maybe this isn't what you want, but if you point a camera on a tripod, at night, in the general direction of of the satellite and do a time exposure, the stars will trail but the satellites will show up as point sources. you could match this to your radio data.
Only for geostationary satellites. Other satellites more relatively fast.
And to add to what ABaumstumpf said, the LEO satellites relative speed will make them leave streaks in any image that is much longer than what the stars leave from the Earth's rotation.
@@ABaumstumpf there called POES polar orbiting enviormental sattelites, basically means they follow the sun
I see this is an older video, but it looks like many people are still watching it (including me). In early 2017 I managed to receive some of the SSTV pictures that the ISS sent over 2 meters by using a Bearcat Scanner hooked to a 2 meter J-pole! Didn't think it would work, but was pleasantly surprised! (decoded the SSTV with MMSSTV)
I'm gonna have to try this with my flat earther uncle. See what kinds of excuses he makes.
bbs, no satelittes!!
Antony Casanova troll
"Damn satellite sending fake cgi"
Any result yet?
how many spanks did you get from your uncle?
Wait a second I've been watching you for about 2 years and just now I learned that you are Brazilian, Salve :D
I am not. I just happened to be in brazil while filming
@@thethoughtemporium Oh ok
Anyone know if data from NOAA-20 will eventually be accessible once it's operational? It was just launched last weekend (currently named JPSS-1 until operational).
Tj Wiets, direct broadcast services continue to be available from all NOAA POES and GOES spacecraft. However, the low rate analog formats demonstrated in this video (for N15,18,19) are no longer produced in the newer spacecraft. The newer spacecraft (including the partner instruments on the NASA EOS and MetOp A/B spqcecraft) produce only High Rate ("digital") data that require the decoding tools demonstrated in the video. Search for "direct broadcast" if you want to learn more.
Oh, and it is accessible right now.
Fun Fact: NPOESS (the cancelled program that evolved into JPSS) was supposed to have an LRPT Transmission mode, much like the Russian Meteor 3M series has. But that was cut when it became JPSS.
@@bryanbreen7943 This will always be the case with digital broadcasts as by definition the broadcast is simply a number it is the interpretation of that number that gives the versatility. That fact actually reminds me of the time they tried to crack down on sharing the broken CSS key and finding other ways to encode a number became a meme. Turns out this works well both ways you can encode anything in a number and you can encode a number in pretty much anything too especially when you have a computer and anything it produces is literally just encoding something in a number of arbitrary length.
yeah i think its x-band like 7 ghz
Dude deserves more audience
Fantastic. I'm in awe.
(Although, it's a pity the technology doesn't exist to hold a small wooden pole steady, so you had to stand in the rain.)
LOL
Good Job!!! I did the same thing by going to the NOAA website and clicking a few links but your way was way cooler
"we tried to decode image with some s/w we found online" - any chance of sharing what you used?
This is a very good video. It cleared up some things for me and I learned a lot. Ironically I woke wondering about the best antenna for this application. I was going to build a QHF until I saw this video.. I think I'll build a double cross antenna instead. I'm looking forward to trying this when my SDR-RTL v4 comes in the mail. Thanks
50 people were very flat earthers ;)
cristhian nuñez damn your country must have a pretty messed up education system if you can be fooled by something like this
The fact that they had to follow the signal source as it moved across the sky AND it produced an image of a large portion of the United States tells us that satellites exist and move very fast. Even the highest flying drone or balloon would not be able to get a single image that large.
Plus, if you look at any airplane, you'll notice that its GPS antenna is located on the top of the airplane (in the direction of space) rather than on the bottom (in the direction of some "Earth-based tower").
JustWasted3HoursHere indeed they do you can see a good number of them on a clear sky with nothing more than your naked eyes. They look much better close up with binoculars/telescope though.
ROFL
It's 115 now. You roundworlders are losing fast! Oblong spheroids indeed...
Before anyone spends a long time trying to build one of these complicated antennas, try to make a V-dipole, with the elements 120° apart, its more compact, easy to make, and has a near-perfect omnidirectional radiation pattern
“Hacker man, he’s the most powerful hacker in the world”

You can straighten wire by taking a long run of it, putting one end in a vice, holding the other end tightly with pliers, hold the wire with slack, then with one hard movement yank the wire really hard. We use this method in aviation to straighten safety wire.
why are you in Brazil?
That's on of the most detailed video. Good job. I'm right behind you guys
8:44 That's a strange looking graph.
I use a regular discone MFJ-1866 (in my attic) for this and it works just fine. It also takes about 5 minutes to assemble and it covers a huge bandwidth.
Did this 30 years ago with my Atari 800 and a XR2211 IC and old Radio Shack Realistic Patrolman SW-60 ..
Pica Delphon I remember having a magazine about doing that on the Atari!
I still have my Atari, tell me more...
Those were the days
How bloody dam cool lol
This was 2017 and just seen this video, HackRF what a great bit of kit
Just one ham operator could have saved you weeks of trial and error.
I agree that it would be faster and less troublesome but i woud not watch if it was only an aleatory exercise. Learning first hand is different than downloading información from others. Analog to how watching somebody test and experiment is much more interesting than seeing somebody pull together stuff.
your video deserve like not because what you done but for your hard work

Your video clearly describe how hard to get a project to work. Great video!!
All flat earthers should build one of these roflmao!
Wayne Johnson wait until we get GOES. we see a full globe. we want to coordinate with people around the world to build up a full 360 globe. the flat earthers are gonna be real mad. But that's for later ;)
Results would be inconclusive. You'd need to be far away to prove the globe, or else you're just custom tailoring a composite image to fit the globe mask.
Strange Faction They are not experiencing those temperature extremes like you imagine because the molecular density in and above the thermosphere is so little that the satellite might not encounter molecules for the transfer of heat to take place for long periods of time. In other words, something in space only encounters heat when it comes in contact with a molecule, and that is rare is space.
FPV Angel What do Zero Gravity (parabolic) flights have to do with passengers in a commercial aircraft flying to different destinations around the world? And no unsupported claims please. You already made one in your last post by claiming “evidence would have to be faked as it always is”. I’m also curious to know what active field research you’re currently involved in concerning this subject.
FPV Angel NASA and other entities only references a flat plane in instructional documentation because for those purposes including a curve isn’t relative to the documentation.
And you’re point about an airplane having to fly AROUND a globe therefore putting people into a free fall. Ok, I see what and who I’m dealing with here. I’m going to assume you believe what you’re saying for a second (hard to believe that you would). Your statements are GIBBERISH. Like a five year old who’s brain is too young and experienced to understand logic and reason, not to mention science, math and the world around them, they might conjure up something like this in their thoughts. And quit trying to pretend your some sort of mystic with statements like “Oh, I find what has been hidden.” You’re like that guy who has a globe and an airplane and thinks that people who fly from New York to Australia would land upside down. Is that all the brain power you have? Look, our conversation is over.
Sand some flats into your dowels and prerdrill them when you mount them to something flat like you did. Awesome project!

Yes
But you would need a bigger antenna for that

Where's a 24 live feed of the earth from the moon?
There's no way.

Never.

Get your Ham license and talk on LEO Sats!
Good way to straighten wire: Clamp one end in a vice, grab the other end with pliers (vice grips work well), then hammer a bit on the pliers. It stretches the wire a bit but pulls out kinks very well.
I'm into ham radio and do digital work. Why didn''t this even cross my mind to try out???
Did you try it? How did it go?
Cool reminds me of decoding satellite television back in the day... things to do when u r bored :)

LOL - They do take the FE hoax seriously even though their slogan is that the Flat Earth Society has members from all over the GLOBE,
You don't need to build a fancy antenna. You just need to have an antenna that is tuned for your frequency correctly. There are inexpensive devices that can test what your antenna is tuned to
Bro this litteraly disproves flat earthers

Fun stuff. I was pulling WEFAX in the early 90s with a fixed turnstile antenna, a GaAs fet amp (mounted of the roof with the antenna), a radio-shack scanner modded with a wider ceramic filter, its audio feed a PLL whose signal went to a Analog Devices ADC. The parallel bytes were went to the parallel printer port of an XT clone PC, a nibble at a time. You see, back then parallel ports were not bidirectional so I was using the control lines. Some C code fetched the bits and mapped to the the tack-sharp paper-white VGA (My first 'useful' Turbo C project!) and the images were no too bad. The Doppler effect shifts the frequency a bit so that is a bit of a challenge in reception and rendering the image. I had corrections for Doppler induced slope since my samples were taken using a watch-crystal. In hindsight I should have locked sampling to the signal shift.
What's Amazing is that, through Google, that old turnstile antenna is still visible in satellite images (I just looked now). Still on the roof of my parent's house after more than 25 years! Maybe everyone thought it was a sculpture?
But how do they orbit around the earth if it's so flat?
This channel must be a NASA front-just like all my neighbors.
sh*t where's my hat?!
Did you take your meds? It's Tuesday all ready uncle Travis. Lol
Straightening wires is done by clamping one end in a vice (mounted to a sort of solid base) and the other end clamped in a pair of vice grips. Pulling the wire Straightens it . If you hold a brick or other heavy object, slack the wire a bit (maybe 10% of the length you try to straighten and pull rapidly you put quite a bit of force on the wire and it will go very straight... Then you can cut your pieces...
