Thanks,

These images are received just with a discone antenna, no preamp and AR5000...
With the discone, the "good" pass is when the site is not too high, typically between 10 and 50°.
A preamp would probably improve a lot as well as an other antenna !

I'm planning to try some HRPT images on 1.7GHz.... I've a small 3ft dish with homemade L-band (inmarsat) and a minikit preamp. Probably it should work for HRPT without modification. Just neet to track the correct sat... I will test soon !

Best
Stephane
