with the Tellique software direct from Eumetsat, no update software required ( or offered ). What will be of interest is whether the new Visa option will be available by the time we receive our invoices. Let's hope so as it would make payment very much easier and of course no bank charges. Regards Ian.

EKU licence and EKU
John Willis <john@...>
Dear all,
I have just had an e-mail from Pamela at Eumetsat confirming I have a UK licence and promising to send updated software and an invoice for the EKU as soon as I confirm that I have the old software. Good News! Many thanks to all who have pushed through the processing to this stage and especially John Tellick, David Taylor and the staff at Eumetsat. Thank you all! John Willis

Re: MSG Licenses in "overseas" countries?
Mamad Sultan <msultan@...>
Hi Luca and all,
Greetings from Mauritius. This is my first post to the group. I registered with Eumetsat in last year and already received " USERNAME" and "User Key " .Unfortunately I have not been able to get that Big Dish to receive EUMETcast in C-band and I am still looking for one. Concerning Licenses ,nothing heard from the Mauritius Met Service. but an email from EUMETSAT User Service Helpdesk informed me last week that: in touch with you in regards to your future license and of course, theIn regards to the data being encrypted come March, our legal dept. will be purchase of the EKU which is required to decrypted the data when the trial ends. << Best regards, mamad Sultan PortLouis Mauritus ----- Original Message ----- From: Luca Bertagnolio To: MSG-1@... Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 15:19 Subject: [MSG-1] MSG Licenses in "overseas" countries? I always like the british term "overseas"... as if they are not the ones living on an Island!!! ;-) Anyway, back to the topic... I read that the UK Met Office has sent out quite a few licenses for MSG-1 reception, a needed step in order to get the eToken from EUMETSAT. Did anybody else in other countries have seen any similar activity from the local licensing authority? Haven't heard anything here in Belgium for sure yet... Bye, Luca Yahoo!

Re: without fees?
Guy Martin <agm@...>
I believe Rob Alblas from the Dutch group has a program called xrit2pic which will decode msg data, I think it's free. Data Manager from David Taylor is an excellent program and well worth the small registration fee.

The missing segments only occur between about 0900 and 1300 sometimes a litle later sometimes a little earlier. There are no missing segments at any other time. David, Look for some scheduled task that is running at the time of the missing segment - Windows Update, anti-virus update, something phoning home on a URL that has now changed, so it can't phone home and keeps trying. Perhaps you could use the Windows Task Manager, set it to view Processes, look at the processes ordered by CPU to that those using most CPU are at the top. See if anything unexpected some to the top at the time of segment loss. Other suggestions: check with Setup4PC for uncorrected blocks. Perhaps there is RF interference around this time? Cheers, David

Ant贸nio, Welcome to the group! At some point, these images will be available on the Internet, and perhaps that will be "free" for you. Right now: - at the very minimum you need the Telliqeue software from Eumetsat costing 60 Euros. - if you want data more frequently than once every 6 hours, you will need an electronic key called an eToken, costing 40 Euros. - you will also need software to decode the data. I offer the MSG Data Manager costing about 72 Euro, but there is also free, non- automated software available as well.

Ever heard of ECOMET?
Luca Bertagnolio <lucaberta@...>
Browsing the Belgian Met Office website I've come across some infos
on a joint effort by most European Met Offices called ECOMET: http://www.meteo.oma.be/ECOMET/ Its definition is this: ----- The concept of ECOMET ECOMET is an Economic Interest Grouping under Belgian law located in Brussels. ECOMET was created end of 1995. Its 20 Members are the National Meteorological Services (NMSs) of : Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United-Kingdom. The ECOMET grouping reinforces the traditional relationships amongst the NMSs and the developing relationships with the private sector within the relevant EU regulations. [...] ----- What I found interesting was this other paragraph: ----- Objectives of ECOMET The primary objectives of ECOMET are to preserve the free and unrestricted exchange of meteorological information between the NMSs for their operational functions within the framework of WMO regulations and to ensure the widest availability of basic meteorological data and products for commercial applications. Further objectives of ECOMET are : -to guarantee the access to meteorological data and products, be it for public or private sectors. [...] ----- So it looks like ECOMET could have somehow been another interface to exploit in order to have a general European license for amateur MSG-1 reception (since there would be no fee associated). Does anyone more about this effort? John maybe? Bye, Luca Brussels, Belgium

Re: MSG Licenses in "overseas" countries?

Alan,
encryption is going to happen in the next couple of months maximum, that is why we should start to work towards getting our eTokens rather sooner than later, hence my question. Still no word from any dutch, german and swiss colleagues. Any info on what is going on there?

I have no details as to the countries who will charge a handling fee nor how much it will be. The UK will not charge nor, I believe, will the Dutch KNMI. I would say that the DWD service via Hot Bird-6 is a subscription service and not included in the MSG data. Regards, John Tellick. RIG.

My understanding is that all of Europe will be administered as the UK is. That is, register with EUMETSAT first, declaring your user status - they will inform your national Met.

Missing segments.
David Strickland <david@...>
Started front end computer 9/1/04. I have missing segments on most
HRIT channels, usually just segment 6 very occassionally 5 or 7 except for channel 12 which is usually 16,17 occassionally one or two earlier or later. The missing segments only occur between about 0900 and 1300 sometimes a litle later sometimes a little earlier. There are no missing segments at any other time. I am getting more and more puzzled at what the cause could be. The front end computer is well capable of the task (1.8Ghz Athalon and 512 memory)spends most of its time well below 5%. The fact that it is mainly segment 6 that goes missing must point to a non random event that has something to do with the signal. Being in Cornwall with an 88cm dish means there is good signal and there is only about 10 feet of cable between the skystar card and the dish. If it was the computer not coping then why would it be ok for the other 20 hours each day? If it was alignment why only segment 6. Puzzled!! David Strickland
