For the last several issues, Steve Ciarcia's magazine Circuit Cellar
Ink has been running an extensive home satellite weather package.

They discuss building a special computer, as well as hooking
into various sources of this data.  I am sure that this
information could be used with many different systems.

To find out about CCI, get an issue of Byte and look at the
last paragraph of Steve's article.  There is a BBS number given,
where you can order the mag over the phone.
