This article is a few years old now. Unfortunately the NOAA satellites stopped transmitting APT last year.
I don't know if there are any others. I do remember picking it up with a suitably-programmed VHF receiver in the early 2000s with a distinct "tick - tock - tick - tock" sync pulse on every line.
- amphetadreamer 4mo agoHah, yes, this is very old. I wrote this in like, 2014 or 2015 - long enough ago that I forgot it was even on my site. I haven't really messed with anything in a few years now, but in the interim I had a setup that was pulling in and displaying the NOAA sats (APT) and the Meteor sats (LRPT), and filling in the longer gaps with GOES-16. I guess I should write a short note/post-mortem on the NOAA sats so I don't continue to mislead people. It looks like the Meteor sats are still running, which could be grabbed with the same setup. But they won't have that same magical tick-tock sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbir1UHJlfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbir1UHJlfI
