hello guys i want some help about receiving weather satellite image from space ,i bought yesterday an antenna from somebody 1/4 lambda omnidirectional very powerfull it says from 108-137 mhz ,so can somebody tell if this is good for all satellite weather to receive i mean like meteor-m n2 the new one that has been launched or other satellites like noaa ?

What type of antenna is it - by 1/4 wave lambda do you mean a 1/4 wave ground plane antenna?

For satellites you generally want a proper satellite antenna, like a Turnstile or QFH antenna.

A 1/4 wave groundplane might work okay but you'll probably find that the signal fades in and out, or only gets signal when the satellite is low on the horizon.

its a 1/4 wave lamba type antenna ...

i've heard somebod that he said that with a type antenna like mine ,he received easily weather satellites with no problem..

Sorry not sure what a "1/4 wave lamba type" is, I assume it's a 1/4 wave ground plane though, something like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... _vhf_3.jpg.

Yes you will probably get a signal with this antenna, but it is not a proper satellite antenna so the signal may fade in or out as the satellites polarisation changes. If you get a very strong signal it might not matter though.
