You mean, can we use radio waves to carry un-digital information? Like one of those analog 900mhz wireless cameras (commonly sold as baby monitors at walmart)? Yeah we can do that :)

They should be, the NOAA satellites cover a lot of ground.

Ahh, well thats probably your problem. It should be easy to hear when it coming over. I should sound like this http://www.drakeanubis.com/images/blogs/noaa/3rdimage.wav

Yes the squelch should be down all the way, but this looks like random noise, usually if it's working you can at least see changes as the satellite passes over. Are you sure that your scanner is set correctly, can you hear satellites as they pass? If so, are you sure the connection into the computer is good?

The soundcard isn't going to help much, the hard part is getting a good signal from the satellite. If you look online you can find instructions for making really good antennas that are tuned to just that right frequency. You could actually send commands to the satellite if you understood their protocol, had a powerful transmitter, and knew what the "password" + time based token, was.

Well this is all just a scam to steal your twenty dollars, in a couple days your going to come back and find that the website is missing and all the links are removed.

Email me a copy of the wave, I'd like to see it. DrakeAnubis@@gmail.com (help stop spam). Also, what are you using for an antenna?

Well I'm not exactly an except in satellite communications, but can you hear the sound of the satellite?

This thread has over 100 views, and I've only seen 22 referrals. Thats an odd ratio.

I don't have enough for that <_<

Oh thats kinda cool, like "spot the hak5 sticker"

Ooh, yeah, I might save a couple. But the general point of stickers is to spread the word.

Well this picks up on radio transmissions on 137Mhz. Webcams would need to be transmitting, and most people don't have wireless webcams. Street cameras do transmit (like the ones you see when the news shows traffic congestion), but they usually use point-to-point microwave links to traverse the distance. There are ways to pick up the cameras that operate on 800, 900, 1200, and 2400 Mhz. Like the room monitors, or baby monitors, that people might have. Typically this is as simple as putting a larger antenna on a receiver. (Since most scanners won't go into the ranges required). If you wanted to pick up these cameras, the best thing to do is buy some simple receivers on ebay (since the cameras aren't protocol specific usually), modify them to be battery powered (simple, because they don't use much power just to receive), get a large antenna (probably a yagi with a high gain), and walk around. Those cameras are very underpowered and won't go very far outside the house, even with like a +24dbi gain antenna you need to be close.

I can put one on each of my 15 cars, perfect <_< :P

I donated like 50 bucks a while ago, and wasn't expecting a ton of stickers to show up (like 20 and some buttons). I'm keeping some for myself (you know... cause they're neat :P ) and I stuck some around my servers and stuff... But I don't really know what to do with the other 10 - 15 or so. Any neat ideas? I have some old model rockets, I was thinking of putting the long "Trust your technolust" ones on the side and just shooting them off into the horizon. I mean, if you find a rocket in the middle of the road or something, you'll probably google the phrase.
