Can an effective hydrogen line cantenna be 3D-printed by painting conductive paint on plastic printing material with or without copper infusion?
Conductive paint on a plastic cantenna without copper infusion in the plastic printing material: Short answer: usually no — conductive paint on a plastic cantenna is very unlikely to give…

Does a geodesic dome naturally form a parabola? (Relevant to design of geodesic parabolic radio astronomy dish)
A geodesic dome doesn’t actually form a parabola—but it very often looks like one, and that’s where the confusion comes from. Here’s what’s really going on. 1. What a geodesic…
One design for making parabolic radio astronomy dishes is to use a geodesic design – how do amateurs make a parabolic dish using this?
Amateurs use geodesic techniques to approximate a true paraboloid with many small, flat facets arranged on a spherical/geodesic framework, then “pulled” into a parabolic shape. The approach is popular because…
