Updated and with over 60 pages more than the previous edition, "Amateur Radio Astronomy" covers in-depth the subject of receiving radio signals from outer space. Starting with a historical perspective of radio astronomy, this 384-page paperback shows how much radio amateurs have contributed to the science of radio astronomy and how the average amateur can contribute in this area today. There are newly expanded details of the required parameters for the antenna and receiver and how to assemble a station. There are details of a 50MHz Meteor Radar system and lots of straightforward advice and practical information on putting together your own receiving station. Included is a practical design for a 1420MHz "hydrogen line receiver," a frequency which the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence programme (SETI) is focused on. New material includes a chapter on Mechanical Systems and details of the Hart RAO KAT Demonstrator Antenna.
This book is the result of period of research stretching back over many years, containing a great balance between historical narrative and technical information. "Amateur Radio Astronomy" is not only a great read, but a practical reference for the application of radio technology in this fascinating topic.
