You can also get with some more work the much higher resolution HIRT images from the GOES sats. It's kind or fun to mess with. I used it as an excuse to mess with offloading the error correction to an FPGA, which was fun but also totally unnecessary.

If anyone in the bay area is interested in this. I will give you my grid antenna and Nooelec goes+ LNA!

I'm looking to get into this sort of stuff for fun, do you have a resource where you started to learn all about it from?

Also would you say that using the gear that was specified in OP's post you could achieve the same results you got?

Thanks

The parabolic grid antenna in that link does not appear to be available

You can get by with one designed for 2.4GHz wifi if those are easier to acquire. They were < $50 on Amazon when I did my build a year or so ago.

Just have to flatten the front a bit and push it out by about an inch. I used a short piece of pvc pipe and some zipties.
