Some of you saw my presentation about Radio Astronomy, and you may remember the
antenna I built in order to receive radio signals from Jupiter (see article and
photo attached). I am finished with it and would like to pass it along to
anyone who may want to use it for the Astronomical League’s Radio Astronomy
Observing Program, or just for fun.

It’s a receive only antenna with a 3 square foot metal back plane and a loop of
wire on 12” standoffs. To use it you will need a communications receiver that
covers 15 MHz through 30 MHz (at least), and some 50 ohm coaxial cable to
connect the radio to the antenna. Also have a look at radiosky.com for lots of
detail on this subject and some useful software that predicts when it’s best to
listen.

First come, first served. Please reply by email.
