Someone told me that some NOAA weather satellites send a continouous download of weather images that it is very easy to receive via a radio scanner and decode on a PC computer.
I think he is lying!

WEFAX is transmitted by terrestrial stations. What he was talking about was copying the signal direct from the satellite as it passes above your house!

I find it simpler just to go to the NOAA web site and get the up-to-the-minute maps from there.

Your friend is 100% correct and you are full of crap. Do a search of WEFAX and you'll find tons of hardware and software to handle it
