In a typical setup, a 1 m diameter parabolic reflector antenna or equivalent (20dbi to 22dBi gain) works well. This will help you visualize approximately where to point the antenna. One way to get an idea of the satellite’s position is to apply Orbitron software and select the geostationary satellite of interest and look at its position in relation to where you are. Part of the challenge in setting up a geostationary weather satellite image receiving system is in determining where your position is in relation to the various geostationary satellites. The above is a GOES 13 LRIT image received with the loop Yagi antenna and USA-Satcom XRIT decoder software the gray-scale image has been colorized using Adobe Photoshop™.
