Free weather satellite download?

Someone told me that some NOAA weather satellites send a continouous download of weather images that it is very easy to receive via a radio scanner and decode on a PC computer. I think he is lying! WEFAX is transmitted by terrestrial stations. What he was talking about was copying the signal direct from the satellite as it passes above your house!

1. Your friend is 100% correct and you are full of crap. Do a search of WEFAX and you'll find tons of hardware and software to handle it http://www.dxradio.co.uk/wefax/
2. I find it simpler just to go to the NOAA web site and get the up-to-the-minute maps from there.
