Hi Don,
Sorry, but it’s just a fragile home-brew and I doubt that it will last that
long off its mount. It has to go in order to make room for a new antenna coming
some time next week.

I would be interested but I have no place to put it right now. I hope to have
a house with a small yard in six months or so.

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
<http://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.
