Dear Brother Bernardin and Students Robert, David, Daniel, and Werner Many thanks for your invitation. I observed Jupiter visually from a campsite in the Sonora Desert of Southern Arizona, west of Tucson Arizona, where I am writing this message. The Sky was totally clear with a resplendent Milky Way above me. I could see the Andromeda Galaxy visually by averted vision. Breathtaking !! I saw Jupiter rising very close to the horizon, shortly after sunset, and I was thinking about your Team in Germany, wishing you luck. I did not have a Radio JOVE Kit Instrument with me, but later in the day I was able to study the Nancay Decametric Array Archive data (part of the Nancay Radio Astronmy Station of Paris Observatory). I attach a Dynamic Spectrum showing their results at 20 MHz. The Nancay Array is very large and sensitive with 72 conical spiral antennas for each polarization. In my estimation this would have been a weak event at 20 MHz with two half wave dipoles. Did your Team at: FGKRO "Franziskaner Gymnasium Kreuzburg" Radio Observatory Germany, Großkrotzenburg, Lat:50:05,17 N / Long:351:00:56,04 http://g.co/maps/3y84a record any strong bursts ? Best regards to the Franziskaner Gymnasium Radio JOVE Team and to All Radio JOVE Observers.
