| Amateur
Radio
Astronomy
is
not
known
to
many,
even
to
licensed
radio
amateurs!
In
many
countries
this
activity
is limited
to
only
Government
agencies.
There
is a
vast
potential
among
radio
amateurs
in
this
field,
with
a
basic
reason
that
It
directly
relates
to
radio
amateurs.
In
today's
amateur
world,
it
is
believed,
and
perhaps
very
true,
that
ability
to
press
a
transceiver
microphone
button,
gives
an
amateur
licensee
credibility
of
being
a
Radio
Amateur.
Forgetting
the
fact
that
those
who
developed
theories
and
fully
understood
techniques
of
radio
amateur
and
build
proven
projects,
were/are
not
"trigger
happy"
amateurs.
Here,
I
have
made
an
effort
to
present
basics
of
radio
astronomy
to
enthusiasts
which
may
lead
them
to
get
involved
in
this
interesting
field,
badly
ignored
by
thousands
of
radio
amateurs
and not
to mention
millions
of
those
perhaps
capable
of
understanding
it.
To
reach
this
goal
of
explaining
&
experimenting
with
this
segment
of
science,
I
have
designed
High
Quality
Radio
Astronomy
Receiver,
down
converters
&
other
useful
accessories
essential
to
start
getting
involved
in
this
fascinating
hobby.
These
high
quality
products
of
International
Standards
are
available
to
Amateur
Radio
Astronomers
all
over
the
world,
produced
in
limited
quantity,
using
amateur
radio
techniques
and
experience
