>  Hello All,

>  I’ve recently been wrapping up a personal project to receive the
>  HRIT service (1.7GHz digital transmission) from the GOES-17 (AKA
>  GOES-West) geostationary weather satellite. Through this my system is
>  picking up high resolution images of earth, as well as a number of
>  text products (forecasts/discussion/alerts/etc) from the EMWIN
>  (Emergency Managers Weather Information Network).

>  This system is running at my home and makes a nice addition as an

>  as well). Please feel free to check it out at: http://goes.k7nvh.com

>  Currently I have the page set up to display the last 24 hours of data.
>  I might consider adding an option to look back farther in the future,

>  phone’s data plan.
