Grok! Remove those signal dropout lines! Not even 2 seconds later, there's the result. Sure it involves fudging but it's still impressive. Both ChatGPT and Gemini 3 will do this, but only sporadically and not in a repeatable manner.
METEOR M2-3 today over Vancouver. TA-1 antenna, Nooelec SDR.
I have tried none of the alternatives. I must try one of them. Thanks for telling me.

How's that for a signal reach? Amateur radio balloon KC3LBR, over Greenland, with a 20 m 10 milliwatt WSPR signal reaching all the way to Antarctica. Not sure I've seen this accomplished before! Note that KC3LBR has three or four balloons aloft!
@zl3gav.bsky.social @ve7sar.bsky.social
Success! Sort of. With the 0800-0830 UTC WRMI @swradiogram.bsky.social broadcast over 5850 kHz. As received in Vancouver. Decoded most of the text. Captured 8 images, all noisy.
Thanks to everyone who makes this possible.
All set for the overnight @SWRadiogram session over WRMI, 5850 kHz, 0800-0830 UTC. That's early Monday morning here in Vancouver. Running two instances of FLdigi, one for MFSK32, the other for MFSK64.

Picked up 20 m WSPR signals here in Vancouver from two amateur radio balloons today, NB4C off the Oregon Coast, and KC3LBR off Baja MX. Additional images show the signals reach of these balloons. KC3LBR appears to have four balloons aloft!

Beautiful crop from today's "blue marble" shot from GOES-18 at 2100 UTC. As received and processed with my own ground station here in Metro Vancouver via 1.7 GHz radio signal. Mostly gear from @Nooelec.

Two lovely shots, one from METEOR M2-3 this morning, the other from METEOR M2-4 this afternoon (check out the gorgeous open-cell cumulus offshore). From passes E, and W of Metro Vancouver. TA-1 turnstile antenna from @wimo_de, LNA and SDR from @Nooelec.
@spann.bsky.social @50shadesofvan.bsky.social
About halfway through the 20 m SSTV day. This shot shows three bands of images from today and three bands from yesterday. Today's first image appeared at 7:01 AM local (time change occurred overnight). Receiving on 14.230 MHz in Vancouver with MLA-30+ loop antenna and SDRplay RSPduo tuner.

Somewhat normal operations for Dubai as seen here at 0600z Sunday. Tracks shown may not be reliable as GPS jamming seems to be occurring. Here are six flights into or out of Dubai.

Still little to no oil tanker (or other) traffic at Hormuz. Some vessels, such as this one, showing bizarre speed data, for instance 70 knots! not sure if AIS signals are also being impacted by jamming and interference. Snapshot at 0600 UTC Sunday morning.

Today's run of 20 m / 14.230 MHz SSTV images as received in Vancouver via MLA-30+ loop antenna w/ @SDRplay RSPduo tuner (doing double duty with 20 m WSPR). More than a hundred images were received. First came in at 6:30 AM local, nearly perfect, from KG5JJ. Last was also from KG5JJ, at 18:18 local.

The trans-Europe USAF C-17 supply line continues around the clock operation. Here's a snapshot at 0215z Sunday morning with 5 Globemasters in action.
@osinttechnical.bsky.social @osintgeek.de
That is the NASA report, in the graphic. So are we hearing the blast, or the sonic shockwave, or both? Some reported hearing two booms, narrowly separated in time. 30-40 km fits fine with the ~2 minutes observations.

@earthquakeguy.bsky.social Writing a general audience column on the "Coquitlam Bolide". Wondering about the height "discrepancy" based on the 2 minute delay flash to sound. That's ~40 km. Eventually a NASA report said 98 km as entry altitude. Seeking a general comment to use with attribution. Tnx.

Another go at METEOR MN2-3 from a pass E of Metro Vancouver this morning. Showing the original image with signal dropout lines, and the "fixed" image from ChatGPT/Nano Banana along with an uptick in contrast and saturation.

Early start to the 20 m 14.230 MHz SSTV day. First image rolled in at 6:30 AM local here in Vancouver. MLA-30+ loop antenna, @SDRplay RSPduo tuner (also doing double duty on 20 m WSPR monitoring). SDRuno, RX-SSTV, JTDX.

Managed four images from cubesat RS40S aka UmKA-1, from two passes over Metro Vancouver, one last night, one this morning.

Is Claude sentient? Maybe.

Some of today's run of 20 m / 14.230 MHz SSTV transmissions as monitored in Vancouver via MLA-30+ loop antenna and SDRplay RSPduo tuner. Using SDRuno tuning software and RX-SSTV to decode. Tuner is simultaneously monitoring 20 m WSPR.
First image at 5:30 AM local, and last at 8:30 PM local.
A little UmKA-1 / RS40S SSTV action this evening around 0500 UTC as the satellite passed over Vancouver.

Arentina's President Javier Milei on ARG01 heading to the Shield of America summit in Miami.
Snapshot at 0215z.

Best reach yet for my 200 millwatt 20 m WSPR transmitter operating from here in Vancouver. Heard across the Pacific by VK3ARW in Australia. 13,200 km!
Antenna here is a piece of speaker wire pinned to the house fascia board.
A new record? 11 C-17 A Globemaster 3 aircraft on the European leg of the Middle Eastern supply route. And on KC-135R tanker for good measure. All but one of the C-17 planes with REACH callsigns, the holdout as a MOOSE. Snapshot at 2100z / 11 PM EET. @osinttechnical.bsky.social @osintgeek.de

Another run of USAF C-17 A Globemaster "heavy metal" across Europe to the Middle East. Snapshots at 2030z Friday evening EET.
@osinttechnical.bsky.social @osintgeek.de
Today's run of 20 m / 14.230 MHz SSTV transmissions and captures here in Vancouver, via MLA-30+ loop antenna, SDRplay RSPduo tuner, and SDRuno and RX-SSTV software. Station is also running 20 m WSPR decoding.
The day's run though began at 7:15 AM local. The last was received at 16:04 local.
USAF aircraft on the move from the Iberian peninsula. Three Hercules heading E from Spain, and a Gulfstream 5 heading N from Portugal. Snapshots at 1615z Thursday.
