Must resurrect this old thread.
One of these years I'll get into radio astronomy. Looks like I won't be able to take radio pics or do any serious mapping. I'd just like to hear something go beep beep or um.. well I dunno really.
I'm a ham radio op and have the odd parabolic dish or 3. It's easy enough to detect sun noise on the satellite C and Ku bands but I want to do a bit more than that!
Getting a good high quality feed at 1420MHz seems to be a problem. Most of the equipment is DIY.
Does anyone know how much radio astronomy can be done on 3.4-4.2 GHz and 10.7-12.75GHz? At least I have some sensitive feeds on those frequencies.
