The guide covers almost\neverything from purchasing and building the hardware, to finding and\ntracking the satellites, to setting up the software and decoding images.\nHRPT reception can be a little daunting as it requires a good L-Band dish\nsetup which involves choosing and building a feed, and importantly, a way\nto track the satellite with the dish as it moves across the sky.
