Galactic Hydrogen Measurements with a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Receiver

It was not clear to me from the description of your SDR setup whether you are using a dish…

As you can imagine given the number of interested parties that rely on both transmission and reception of electromagnetic…

In fact, this is a current area of study. See https://public.nrao.edu/news/nrao-statement-commsats/.

The frequency ranges that the VLA operates at are designed so as not to overlap with most commercial transmitters. …

I do not believe that Fast Radio Burst (FRB) measurements, which are made at frequencies above about 400 MHz,…

Well, 5G is very different from 4G, including 5G’s use of much wider bandwidths and higher frequencies. These differences…

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
	Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
	The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
	AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
