There is a link in the video description for a DIY alternative, but its a little intimidating for a beginner like me (there are no WIP pictures!)
Anyone have any tips/links for someone interested in building a DIY, lower cost antenna for receiving these weather satellite signals?
Similar to what this person's doing: https://www.instructables.com/id/NOAA-Satellite-Signals-with...

I tried this and whilst I could detect the signal carrier, I did not manage to decode more than about a few dozen lines of image.
sdr-radio V3 with its satellite tracking plugin makes the receiver part easy, and does the Doppler correction for you.
I lost myself in this stuff for years and had to just stop. It's a lot of fun.
