WXtoImg is a freeware advanced APT (NOAA, Meteor) and WEFAX (GOES, Meteosat) weather satellite decoding program for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X

APTDecoder is a free software for recording and decoding signals transmitted by NOAA POES APT enabled weather satellites. It is run on a NT-based version of Window

Decoding NOAA APT weather satellite images is achieved with a homebrew receiver and a Turnstile Cross Dipole antenna, feeding data to a Pentium-3 500MHz PC running Windows XP and the WXTOIMG program. This setup, operated by VU2IIA in Mumbai, India, focuses on capturing and processing signals from NOAA satellites to generate visual weather data. The blog documents the technical aspects of constructing the receiving station, including antenna design and receiver integration. It provides insights into the practical challenges and successes of amateur satellite reception, specifically for Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) signals. Operational details cover the software configuration and image processing workflow necessary to transform raw satellite data into usable weather imagery. The content serves as a practical guide for radio amateurs interested in satellite meteorology.
