ASSA Radio Astronomy Group

Similar in equipment requirements and techniques to the Jupiter Radio Noise Storms. Being somewhat closer, larger and a much more powerful radio source, your equipment does not need to be as sensitive to receive signals from the Sun. Please note that it also means you can do one or the other, but not both at the same time. UV radiation from the Sun excites the Earth's ionosphere and attenuate signals from Jupiter during the day and into the first few hours after sunset. When the sun is visible in your sky, you're not very likely to receive signals from Jupiter.
