Oh and with the perseids in august look up meteor scatter french transmitter. There was a great article on it in the RSGB magazine Radcom earlier this year. Britastro has some great pdfs

Did you know amature radio guys bounce radio waves of meteor tails to talk to each other!

Really a radio should be on even if its cloudy.

They also do 'Moon Bounce' aka Earth-Moon-Earth, where they beam signal at the moon using VHF/UHF frequencies, usually with high power and high gain direction aerials.

Someone mentioned SDR.  How about trying one of the web SDR's on HF, specifically around 20MHz? I believe Jupiter radiates signal on that frequency +/-.
