I'm not sure if you get these trports but take a look at Note 1....NOAA 9
does interfere with my reception frequently....
WEATHER SATELLITES
================
APT STATUS REPORT -- 24th February 2003
=============================
Satellite Frequency (MHz) Status Image Quality
NOAA 12 137.500 on good
NOAA 14 137.620 off
NOAA 15 137.500 on good
NOAA 17 137.620 on good
Meteor 3-5 137.300 off see note 3.
Meteor 2-21 137.400 off
CHANGES SINCE LAST REPORT
None.
THIS WEEK'S POSSIBLE EVENTS.
None expected.
NOTES.
1. NOAA 9 was permanently deactivated some years ago and is tumbling
freely. Unfortunately it has a sporadic carrier on 137.500 (varies quickly
according to orientation) and can cause interference to NOAA 12 and
NOAA 15.
2. NOAA 16's APT transmission system failed a few months after launch.
3. The ascending portion of Meteor 3-5's orbit is precessing into better
illumination and under normal circumstances I would expect it to be back on
towards the end of February. Missing 'Orbit' messages have made the
assessment more difficult. Watch this space.
Just a quick thought...
