For the receive antenna is it something homebrew or can one buy a GOES receive antenna from NooElec?

Great satellites to learn how to receive images from using an SDR and your PC and or mobile device. The fun stuff of meteorology, communications and science. Pure fun and education at the same time. @yvrwxwatcher.bsky.social

I'm definitely going to be ready with my camera. Might head down to Spanish Banks or Locarno tomorrow if this turns into an event. Looks or feels really cool for it to happen locally in lower mainland. Let's hope for sun in morning.
