Here are some open-source GNU Radio flowgraphs / projects on GitHub that you can study or adapt when you want to choose between different SDR hardware sources (e.g., RTL-SDR, USRP,…
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of horn-antenna dimensions for hydrogen-line (≈1420 MHz, λ ≈ 21 cm) observation from SETI League / astronomy.me.uk recommendations and the academic designs referenced in the Harvard/McMaster…
Short answer first, then the nuance. TL;DR (rule-of-thumb) For 1420 MHz hydrogen-line pyramidal horns: That’s why almost all serious 21 cm horns cluster around 15–25°. What “problems” actually appear —…
Just to finish off my posts on sudden ionospheric disturbances, there were two massive complex ones closely following on from each other today, representing a series of solar flares hitting…
Interests me how different stations show quite different traces. Here is mine (Lichfield Radio Observatory www.astronomy.me.uk) from 21/1/2026: It shows a very impressive SID at about 1pm. My goto website…
Strangely narrow SID on 26/1/2026 associated with C-class flare: From Lichfield Radio Observatory (my observatory in UK): Compare to SID Monitoring Station (https://sidstation.loudet.org/data-en.xhtml) – an excellent source of high quality…
Dip in Muons detected on the UKRAA PicoMuon detector at LRO 20/1/2026: Yes — they’re very likely related. Here’s why: 📡 What happened on 19–20 January 2026 🌍 How CMEs…
Short answer: no — not by itself 🙂 The QT GUI Vector Sink does not inherently show frequency offset from centre. It just plots whatever numbers you feed into it,…
Nice, this is a very GNU Radio–ish question 🙂 In GNU Radio, a complex number doesn’t have a “positive” or “negative” sign the way a real number does. If you…
How to figure flush value for GMU Radio GRC flowgraph which changes frequencies regularly and where saved data must not include data from previous frequency? Great question — this bites…
