What Radio Astronomy Can You Do On The First Floor Apartment?


By gccradioscience - Posted on 23 April 2011

I have a question and also am I am new here. I live on the first floor of my apartment and I would like to know how do you do radio astronomy on the first floor of a apartment. Right now at this time I am conducting receiver experiments on VLF trying to monitor for SID
using a electromagnetic field receiver connected to the microphone input
using Spectrum Lab and the results are getting good. Also could the 76 Mhz to 88 MHz region be used for radio astronomy? I think it should There is nothing to hear on those frequencies most TV stations went digital except for channel 5, but that signal is on 81.75 MHz. Is spectrum lab good for radio astronomy on VHF? What could I do in a first floor apartment?

Would someone please answer this poor fella's question? I'd like to hear some ideas to this one myself.

Hi Mr. Ebel

In fact, in a difficult position. But not impossible. Studies can be done more simply. VLF is really an interesting subject of study.

It was like a magical world. Very nice applications can be developed in the field of low frequency. You are in the basement, outside antenna to get enough.
