Radio Telescope – Observing
IMPORTANT: Before first attempting to observe with the Radio JOVE decametric radio telescope set up, be sure to review
• "Setting Up the Radio Telescope"
and
• "Testing the Radio JOVE 2.1 Receiver and Antenna Together"
for important information on using your Radio JOVE equipment.
• Basics of Observing Jupiter using Radio Jupiter Pro Program
From "So you want to observe Jupiter with Radio JOVE? — Planning your observing" by Jim Brown, JOVE Bulletin, July 2018
• Basics of Observing the Galactic Background using Radio JOVE [PDF]
Entitled "Things That Go Hump in the Night — A Fun Experiment" by Dave Typinski and Wes Greenman, May 2015
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are many human-made sources of radio noise to contend with when using a decametric radio telescope. See Samples of Radio Frequency Interference in the Radio JOVE Library for just a few examples of these sources.
Here are some radio frequency interference (RFI) articles from the Radio JOVE Bulletin:
