Hello.
I wonder which PC configuration is needed for MSG reception whithouit
data lost.
Eumetsat tells "Pentium 4 at 2 GHz"; for the moment, I'm using a
Pentium III at 1 GHz; David Taylor says on his web site that he's
running with "an old Pentium III at 550 MHz".
Can someone confirm that a PIII-550 is enough (I use one for WXFAX
reception on Meteosat) ? With which quantity of memory ? Under which
operating system ?
I'm using a PCI Sky board.
Regards.
Fabrice, F5HCC.

Min-scans are part of the capability of MSG-1, so I presume that
Eumetsat that the scans work correctly.

Mini-scans are currently being used on Meteosat-6 to provide the
Rapid Scanning Service, which should be described on the Eumetsat
Web site.

Yep - sorry about that realised when the yahoo lag sent me other
replies. I used to be able to get them direct from OIG

Thanks, Steve. I discovered I am already registered there ......
but I haven't used my account enough so it needs to be re-
activitated!

Not to worry!

Cheers,
David

Many thanks, Steve, but that's the same 10-day old data that I have.

Hi All

This looks very interesting,can't wait for scan with a little more light on UK!

Folks - remember it's 24 hours of mini-scan tests starting today:

"Activities planned for week 04:
From 10:00 20/01/04 until 10:00 21/01/04 the SEVIRI will perform
7.5mn mini scans of the northern hemisphere.
During this period MET products will not be available."

Cheers,
David

Fabrice,
Thank you very much for this very welcome information. I await the
arrival of the convention.

Hello.
I had today a phone conversation with someone at Meteo France who is
in charge of the licencing in France.
I was asking for the delivery of the EKU by Eumetsat (Eumetsat's
help desk told me that they were waiting for Meteo France to send
back the licences of french users).
A nice woman told me that the licences will be issued free of charge
for French users assuming that they use MSG data for self-education
or amateur use and that they don't broadcast the received data on
Internet in real time.
That's good news for French users !
We'll have only to pay for the EKU (and of course for Tellique
client and receiving equipment).
All French users registered by Eumetsat will receive a "convention"
they'll have to fill in and send back to Meteo France who will
forward the agreement to Eumetsat.
This "convention" will be sent by e-mail or by snail-mail, depending
on the informations given by the users on their registration form.
Fabrice, F5HCC.

Does anyone have current Kepler data for MSG-1?

It is supposed to be in an orbital move from 10W to 3.5W, but the most
recent data I have from Celestrak is from around January 10th, before the
move began.

It would be fun to watch this drift and see how the image quality of data
from the eastern limb improves with orbital position!

David,

same set of data on NASA OIG.

By checking the last 5 TLEs, it doesn't look like there is a definite
pattern, as TLEs are separated by anywhere from 2 to 6 days, and in
one case there were two TLEs few minutes apart.

Too bad!

Bye, Luca

All,

I have been informed by Arne that the Dutch licenses are actually written in
English despite what was originally posted.
Ferdinand has conformed there is no handling charge in Holland for issuing of
licenses.

One thought - if you already had an EKU from EUMETSAT during the trial period
and for those who will be applying now, EUMETSAT will not, I understand,
'switch on' your EKU till they have received confirmation from the national Met.
Offices that they have in turn received your signed license agreement back.

But then, I thought, you would not be offered the ability to purchase the EKU
by EUMETSAT till they had been informed of your licensed status.

Anyway .....

Regards,
John Tellick.
RIG.

Just to clarify, it is correct that the dues for the SKU and the software need
to be paid. However that has nothing to do with the KNMI. Its position has been
very constructive and cooperative in this affair and there is no charge by KNMI
for the service of handling the licenses.

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...

Yup,

got mail from the dutch "KNMI", being the licensing authority.

bottom line is you have to pay.

Oh well,

Hello David T,
Mni tks for yr advice. The trouble was (I found that
a few minutes ago) the firewall protection(from
windowsXP) was switched "on" in the network device.
Purple is back and Ap is happy.

Thanks for the report back, Ap, and good to hear it is sorted. I
forget to suggest checking Firewalls!

Cheers,
David

Many tks to you all, for the advices and help. As I
already mentioned to David, the trouble was that the
firewall from WindowsXP was switched on in the network
device (here called "lan nr 4 B2C2 broadbandreceiver")
for unknown reasons.
Pretty weekend to all, tks

John,

The Dutch licenses are for a period of three years and no handling charges
apply.
