Aric,
	I think you do not need a dish.  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.
