Also, if you just string out an antenna, how do you know you've captured Jupiter and not some other radio source?
The radiojove site seems to be done at the moment.

Hi david
yes sure you can use that !
the radio jove site will give you the details of the style of antenna and the dimensions
you need to tune around 20.1 MHz .. jupiter is a broad band noise source so its not essential to be bang on .... more important is a clear spot in the band so you can hear background noise not any terrestrial transmitter.
the Jove site also had some sounds of jupiter too .. they are quite distinctive so you should not have a problem finding out what your listening to.
best advice is.. have a go! you will be surprised sometimes of the results you will achieve even with simple kit.
and radio is full of surprises .....!
