Smile Radio Astronomy

Hello Everyone,
Is there anyone out there who is interested in Radio Astronomy?. I have some software and books that I purchased from the US some time ago as I wanted to set up a radio astro system but never got around to setting somthing up. I hope to do so one day, and every time I do think about it I get stuck on the problem of what size dish do I need and would a decent radio scanner do the job. I do know that to observe the hydrogen line you need a reciever that can pick up (I believe it is 1420 mhz) signal, and a large dish. Is there anyone on the forum interested in this subject?.
Cheers,
Wombat
