[GCARC] New GOES 16 pix from the W2MMD clubhouse receiver

[Jonathan Pearce]

This receiver setup has been running continuously for a few weeks, sending down almost 18,000 (17 gb) of pictures so far. Here are a few recent shots – a beautiful shot of the western hemisphere https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m0yuW3n7Db0/W9BvuD9ZF-I/AAAAAAAASyE/FoQWMHOeP4EqmoWzgshS0BIYz2muD6y4QCLcBGAs/s1600/GOES16_FD_FC_20181021T160037Z.jpg a B&W shot of the south Pacific weather relayed from the Himiwari satellite https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VNWyHOaCMW8/W9BrmXuxPAI/AAAAAAAASxs/oWTg5W4__RkuS0_1t4R06SklBGv0M3mgwCLcBGAs/s1600/Himawari8_FD_IR_20181023T025100Z.jpg and a couple of pix of the hurricane over Mexico https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SZ8nqZue_oo/W9Bq78tKmDI/AAAAAAAASxk/bTq4JapN6NgBm-kHWhS43ktWLSVN17qyACLcBGAs/s1600/GOES16_M1_CH13_enhanced_20181024T052627Z.jpg https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O7bArh_813Y/W9Bsh1vozyI/AAAAAAAASx4/kGJeFOku5I05JnQxaP_HGt1r3b2s3ttYACLcBGAs/s1600/GOES16_M1_FC_20181023T154127Z.jpg

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be moving the dish from its current location (tie-wrapped to a picnic table) to a new pole on the west end of the clubhouse. We’re also working on a photo server that would allow browsing these images. Why are we doing this? Because of one of my favorite space-related quotes: “We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard”.

Team: K2QA, K2ZA, KB2AYS and WB2MNF – and anyone else who wants to get involved
