nice to hear from you,
i use a turnstile (http://www.df2fq.de/produkte/Turnstile.html)
that i bought from www.df2fq.de including a r2fx receiver. I use now wxtoimg on SuSE10.0 on an old pIII-500.
The antenna is mounted on a roof but i have serious problems receiving, causing the images to be black in black for now (and no idea why, any idea wellcome ). As second option i plan to try wxget. Under sourceforge there is a project called groundstation but i did not test it now.

Two years ago I did quite a bit of wx receiving during hurricane season. I built a QFH antenna and used my Yaesu FT-897 to receive the 136 MHz satellites. I was using the wxtoimg program running under Windows ME. I've since gotten interested in linux, and am planning to try receiving some of the wx images using wxtoimg running under linux. It's a good program, and I was able to produce some very nice images with the antenna mounted on a tripod sitting in my front yard. What software will you be using, and what antenna do you have?
