These are two
satellite dishes that are in the back yard. The first one is a 5-meter
dish. The second two pictures are of the 3-meter dish. The last
picture is the computer-generated weather map that the weather satellites
up in space beam down to the 3-meter satellite dish. They get processed
through a homemade computer program that processes high speed image
data. The orbital predictions have to be calculated beforehand to
know where to point the antenna. You can see the entire West Coast
on this map and as far east as Utah. Sometimes, depending on where
the satellite is, you can see the Hawaiian Islands and the Great
Lakes.
