First Light Data Process with Alex Pettit 21cm Plate Yagi @ LRO 22/9/2024
This involved only a few hours of data collection at one elevation, and was done to demonstrate that hydrogen was picked up – appears to peak over galaxy and suggestion…
Alex Pettit Plate Yagi vs Ptarmigan Array for mapping Milky Way at LRO
I have set up the new aerial from Alex Pettit at SARA next to my existing Ptarmigan ex-military dipole array, to see which is able to get better hydrogen signal…
Assembling Alex Pettit’s Hydrogen Line Yagi antenna
Loosely assembled – I’ve asked Alex some questions before I complete assembly. Andy Hi Alex Before I get the old soldering iron out can I check couple things with you:…

Failure to detect solar interferometric fringes at LRO, Lichfield, UK, 13-15/8/2024
Calculating expected fringe period of interferometric solar traces, if detected (c/o Mike Otte, SARA): Fringe rate = Baseline / wavelength *angular rotation of earth * cos declination ex: Fringe period…
LRO Magnetometer traces August 2024
Apparently, significant dips – but what I don’t understand is that they appear to occur roughly same time each day! Andy 1/8/2024: B2/8/2024: 11/8/2024: 12/8/2024: 13/8/2024::
Does this trace show interferometry interference spikes from the Sun?
Latest attempt to record interference spikes using radio interferometer. This time, I used Mike’s AD8302-based receiver, with computer now removed 50cm outside box away from receiver and also 6 point…
