Hi Andrew We now have a new page giving access to the radio astronomy section’s monthly meeting videos, and also videos from the specialist radio astronomy sub-groups: hydrogen line, GNU…
At 20 kHz you’re really designing a resonant system, not just adding a tuner box. For your kind of radio astronomy / interferometry work, the most practical approach is a…
Short answer: yes—but not in the way you’re probably expecting. 🚫 Off-the-shelf ham tuners: no All the usual amateur ATUs—like only cover roughly 1.8–30 MHz (HF). Even the “wideband” ones…
For a VLF loop antenna used to monitor Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SIDs), the received signal strength mainly depends on the loop area × number of turns, not simply the total…

Sure! Here’s the calculation in plain ASCII: For reference:
There isn’t a single formal “amateur deep space network,” but there are several organised groups and communities of radio amateurs and citizen-science teams that regularly detect carriers from interplanetary probes.…
Installing Linux on a Mac depends mainly on which type of Mac you have: I’ll outline both methods. 1. Installing Linux on an Intel Mac (Most Flexible) Step 1 —…
The torque required depends mostly on three things: If the dish is perfectly balanced around the elevation axis, the motor only needs to overcome friction and inertia, which is quite…
