A great demonstration of how we can use radio in interesting ways is to receive downlink audio from NOAA satellites and convert it to images. Today I'm going to show you how to configure your computer to receive this audio, then process it with free computer software, an inexpensive SDR receiver, and simple radio antennas.

Links to the SDR receivers I recommend can be found on my Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hamradiocrashcourse
