Hi Steve,
as JoAnne and Peter already responded here is the information you will find on my website:
If you go this page http://www.dd1us.de/amateur%20radio.html [4] and scroll to the bottom you will find the links to the various satellites.
I am using the weatherman kit and WxtoImg.
Here is a status page for the NOAA satellites which get regularly updated:

Matthias,
Thank you for the information. You have a very nice website!
Where can I find the downlink frequencies for satellites 15, 18, and 19?
Also, what software is used to decode the pictures?
Thank you!

(even if they just transmit wefax) i'm open to any suggestions as per satellites and their frequencies. you can answer my via my private email, if you prefer, or openly - if you figure the amsat group is even interested. thanks in advance
