Meteor detection by radio

Leonid Meteor Show detection by radio scatter at Lichfield Radio Observatory (LRO) 17-18/11/2025

Admin November 18, 2025 No Comments

Some (not so great)evidence of Leonids detected at LRO on 143.050MHz, Graves. See increased intensity in early hours of 18/11/2025. However, this is nothing like the intensity of meteors in…

Radio observation in hydrogen line (1420MHz)

How heavy is light-weight 160cm satellite dish?

Admin November 18, 2025 No Comments

Good question. It depends a lot on the material (steel, aluminum, mesh vs solid) and how the “160 cm” is constructed. But here are some reference points + example: 🔍…

USRP B210 Software-Defined Radio

Why Linux Ubuntu on LRO-24 can not run ezColS Soapy driver command with USRP B210 Software-Defined Radio 16/11/2025

Admin November 17, 2025 No Comments

It sounds like UHD cannot find or load the FPGA/firmware images for the B210, even though you believe they’re installed. This problem is very common when UHD was installed one…
