Any Radio Astronomy enthusiasts?

Hi all! After years of planning, I'm about to begin my multi-10-metre antenna RA array project in earnest!

The site is a large, fairly remote valley, at around 500m ASL, almost entirely surrounded by mountains, and essentially radio dead. (No TV, radio, cellular, etc.)

I'm starting with a single fully-steerable 10m diameter antenna - small enough to be doable, large enough (I hope) to be useful - but plan to add at least two more in the next few years.

If anybody is interested, I can "chronicle" progress with pics here, otherwise I'll just throw a page up for it on my website.

Any questions, criticism, suggestions or comments most welcome.

Cloudy skies! (Because radio astronomers don't even notice...)
