NOAA 18 Weather Picture

I haven’t done one of these in a while, hauled out my Yaesu VX-3R and recorded a pass. I’ve busted the sync corrector in my program again, so it’s not aligned right, but overall, it might be one my better passes, covering a lot of the continental U.S.

Addendum: The follow up pass was out over the Pacific…

Pizza Order…

A few days ago, I blogged about a Python program to monitor the status of your Domino’s pizza order. Last night found me at home by myself, with nothing desireable to eat in the house, so I ordered a pizza. And tried out the python script.
