RJ 1.1 Radio Telescope – Observing

Attention: This page is a reference for users of the original Radio JOVE RJ1.1 receiver.

Users of the RJ2.0 SDR-based telescope can find the web pages for that system by going to radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov/radio_telescope and following the RJ 2.0 link found there.

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 Receiver and Antenna Together"
for important information on using your Radio JOVE equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are many human-made sources of radio noise to contend with when using a decametric radio telescope. See Samples of Radio 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:

Radio JOVE team member, Jim Sky, has blogged articles on RFI:
