An abomination of a antenna. Cake tin, pizza dishes, old plumbing pipe and various odds of scrap metal. Winch up mast for £20 from our local junk shop!

I finished building our conservatory, wheelchair accessible walkway and gazebo. Time to get back stuck in working on SHF station and hydrogen line observatory.

Taking full advantage of the new conservatory. Probably a smidgen premature to exchange the winter tweed for summer linen, but oh hey.

It's getting to be quite a cosy little room. Coax pass through is next on the build list.

3 months in the making and I need to find the right screws for the cat flap, but having tea in the conservatory.

There are two more panels to fit on the front, some painting, door handle to fit, cat flap to fit, small threshold ramp to build and a carpet to put down, but the conservatory / Space Communication Centre is well underway!

The rustic conservatory is well underway. A little table in corner with laptop and the IC9700 near the dish ready for spring.

I was doing work on the conservatory whilst running some experiments. Might have opened a doorway to the Dark Dimension. Sorry about that.

Azzy is out scoring crack (or whatever it is the wayward kitty does during her morning travels). Mummy cat Boo and I are snuggling in the warmth awaiting her return. #catsofbluesky

Azzy is a nutcase and rarely still enough for a photograph, but she decided to pose and look pretty.

Back in summer, when I first experimenting with hydrogen line detection, I had a lot of help in the temporary shack. Here's Assie inspecting the shack construction and Boo reading the data.

Very interested in Radio Jove (is that using frequencies around 20mhz).
1. Currently working on hydrogen line radio astronomy.
2. Interested in bouncing radio signals off the moon.

50mhz antenna is down, 1.296ghz antenna is up. Unfortunately I need to put washing out on the rotatory airer, so the 1.42ghz dish mast has to come down. I bet Jodrell Bank doesn't have this problem.
