Welcome to my home page. My name is Graeme, and I live in Sydney Australia.
My call sign is VK2GDF.
This page is devoted to my many interests such as; Amateur Radio, designing and building of low power radio equipment, remote sensing satellite images, Ionospheric and Tropospheric propagation and the exploration of space.
I'll be updating this page often, so please check in regularly.
If your interested in capturing live pictures from Polar Orbiting Satellites it's easy with this exellent program from Germany. All you need is an antenna (a piece of wire will do), a receiver or scanner, a sound card and a copy of Wxsat For Windows.
This program also works very well on shortwave Wefax reception.
If you want to give it a try, and can't figure it out, then e-mail me at the address below and I'll be glad to offer any assistance I can.
