Welcome to the Radio Astronomy board.

[Ant]

This board is for discussions about all aspects of Radio Astronomy.

Radio Astronomy is an area not covered by any of our existing boards, hopefully this board will become a wealth of information.

Cheers

I don't know much about this Ant, so this should be interesting.

Just out of curiosity, I've read that it's possible to pick up some sort of signal off of a standard car radio, is this true? and if so what would one listern for?

CMB can be picked up on your TV as well. Just tune it out until you get 'snow'.

Hey presto, some of that 'snow' is caused by CMB!

We shall have to endow a whole new meaning to the expression 'Light Pollution' - or 'Radio Pollution' as it will have to become on this board.

Whilst remote control cars and other models must no doubt take their share of the blame, I've read somewhere that one of the worst offenders is farmers' electric fences...
