Best book but dated

This is the best reference book available right now, but 10 years is a long time for technology. Buy the book. Read the book. Get on the web and go to the Remote Imaging Group in the UK and learn the rest.

Teaches you what you need to know and more!

This great book, writen by Dr. Taggart, is probably the single greatest source of information about weather sats, both low orbiting and geostationary. Construction articles allow even a novice to build antennas for the low orbiting birds. Many photos show how your station needs to be set up as well as pictures from the sats themselves. In the back of the book is several pages of advertisements related to the subject matter. This a great reading book and one you must have for your collection.
