Description: Radio astronomy is far from being beyond the scope of amateurs astronomers and this practical self - contained guide for the newcomer to practical radio astronomey is an ideal introduction. This guide is a must for anyone who wants to join the growing ranks of 21st Century backyard radio astronomers. The first part of the book provides background material and explains (in a non - mathematical way) our present knowledge of the stronger radio sources - those observable by amateurs - including the Sun Jupiter Meteors Galactic and extra - galactic sources. The second part of the book deals not only with observing but - assuming no prior technical knowledge of electronics or radio theory - takes the reader step - by - step through the process of building and using a backyard radio telescope. There are complete detailed plans and construction information for a number of amateur radio telescopes the simplest of which can be put together and working - using only simple tools - in a weekend. For other instruments there are full details of circuit - board layouts components to use and (vitally important in radio astronomy) how to construct antennae for radio astronomy.
