Captured from Poland on April 10th at 17:00 UTC, looks like channel A switched to IR mid scan. The satellite is NOAA-15.

Oh cool! What kind of equipment do you need to receive these?

I'm using an RTL-SDR V4 dongle paired with a homemade QFH antenna. It's not perfect but it does the job just fine.
