Mike Gore, here in Waterloo, is collecting images from satelites with a less expensive antenna. He has a low priced scanner from Radio Shack and a small circuit that he has designed himself. He then stores the images in (i think) neo-chrome format, adjusts the gray scales, and then prints them on the printer. Maybe he will tell you about it. For me, his address is magore@watcgl. -- L. J.
