I managed to get a good image earlier this evening using the above setup. The received image shows the north Coast of Africa up to the Arctic Circle, as you can see there is a lot of cloud rolling in over the U.K. You can also see the "Grey Line" as the Sun is shining to West. I received the above

I had a quick look at your QFH antenna, pretty cool. I intend to have a go at making one soon, I have seen similar designs and I am looking forward to tinkering again.
I enjoy receiving the NOAA WX Sat images and have had amazing responses to the Youtube WX videos I did a while back.
It is another one of those interesting twists of the hobby h.i and I hope to continue learning all about these many wonderful offshoots of being a Ham.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon and I will be reading your posts via Planet Ham.
73 Have fun, catch you agn soon.
