About $300 and some skill at plumbing. I run a Hamtronics R139 receiver
into my sound card (there are better and cheaper receivers), David Jones'
satsignal shareware and a homebrew QHF. I get 6 to 8 poctures a day
covering Hudson Bay to Puerto Rico.

Google around. You will find everything you need.

I have been reading about it. Is it possible to get into this cheaply?
What is needed?
