After some cloudy nights in my new dome, I thought I had better make use of this new retreat I have made for myself. So began some research on getting started with radio astronomy. I have built an antenna, (nearly finished), and am looking at a nice little $50 reciever to listen to HF bandwidth approximately 15 to 30 mHz. Jupiter is a relatively simple target, as is the sun. Jup's is at about 21.9 mHz.
Heres a couple of pics of the antenna in the works.
I will probably add this project as a new page on my website so you can have a look as it progresses.
