Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 Spacecraft on X-Band. Data signal visible. #DSN

Juno and Escapade Blue tonight #DSN Just a few dB short of capturing Voyager(s) 😆

@M1EGI VL traces at 1Ms, local spurs there annoyingly.

@M1EGI I can detect it! But only a fraction of a dB over noise.

SDR Television working very well 'on the edge' of GB3EY DVB-S2 reception tonight at home, 3m dish doing all the work 😉 Comparable to Minitiouner now 👍

@amsatdl @escapade_mars @SternwarteBO Those of us with smaller antennas can still receive a nice carrier from this spacecraft.

ESCAP-BL @escapade_mars downlink @SternwarteBO while in contact with DSN Madrid, 92 Days, 13 Hours since launch. Waiting Trans-Mars-Injection (TMI) in November 2026.

@amsatdl That is impressive 👍 Now where can i find a bigger dish..... 🤔🤣

VOYAGER-1 live on the YouTube stream from Bochum.

SAQ was testing earlier on VLF, nice signals! Top is using E/W loop - strongest Bottom is using E-Field.

@f5len Standard raspberry shake hardware RS1D

@M0DTS What is your transducer?

More spectral components, very clear detection from this morning! The 0-2Hz band is interesting 🤣

The sun is a bit too close to the Moon for today's EME SSTV event, 3m dish and sun noise is only about 3dB down pointing at the moon. I'll take a listen anyway, my last high current 28v psu I have has died so I cant Tx :-( Levels for Moon, Sun and nearby Sky.

@G8XZD_TV @raspishake A Raspberry Shake RS1D, not cheapest but plug n play.

@M0DTS @raspishake Wonder what you are using with the pi to detect the activity?

Looks like my first genuine detection with raspishake 😊 #Earthquake recorded on the #RaspberryShake #CitizenScience seismic network. See what's shaking near you with the @raspishake #ShakeNet mobile app

@G7Jtt @davegkq @ARISS_Intl @JonnyKimUSA Nice to see it back 👍 I was patiently waiting for the pass and power cut, still off 🤣

@davegkq @ARISS_Intl @JonnyKimUSA Well done Dave 👍📡🛰️

In a few hours @JonnyKimUSA is scheduled to install the HamTV unit in the ISS Columbus Module. When active, HamTV will transmit video on 2.395 GHz. Reception reports are requested here on social!

All my new posts will be on bluesky: bsky.app/profile/m0dts.… fed up with all the advertising/notifications on X so moving off here soon.

@m0dts.bsky.social

@aschweiz77 You could receive with your pc's mic input then use spectrumlab or other software. Antenna could be a long wire or an active e-field probe like PA0RDT antenna.

@M0DTS Cool! How can you receive this low frequency signal?

SAQ Switch off, can see the control loop open!

@SP3RNZ Just spectrumlab, the signal is down converted in the software.

@M0DTS Are You running VLF trsvt Rob?
