This repository is a tutorial dedicated to teach satellite and radio communications! Welcome to the el-cheapo-station :tm: where we will always try to assemble stuff with the least possible cost!

This tutorial will count with some software (stuff that you yell at), hardware (stuff that you kick) and nescessary knowledge to receive signal of a satellite at your home with images like this:

NOAA 19
