Thank you, Dale. I'm so impressed with the energy and interesting approach to nature that amateur astronomers display. My feeling is it has something to do with an intelligent person's urge to personally find out something about the fundamentals.

Hopefully I was able to convey what I feel is the most important aspect about amateur radio astronomy - and that is the wide variety of things that an amateur can pursue. At the SLAS meeting I was asked about links for some of the things I mentioned such as SARA and Radio Jove, etc. I'll put those together as a comment in the blog. A couple other notes. During the talk I said that Karl Jansky noticed that the signal appeared four minutes *later* each day -- err wrong. I meant to say that he saw it four minutes earlier each day (i.e. the sidereal rate). If anyone caught that and thought, "what a total doofus" - please forgive me. Also, to answer a question that was asked - the low loss cable I use is 50 ohm impedance. Clear skies, Dale.

Hi Friends, It's tardy, but here's my report on the talk Dale gave last week. It's thrilling that people are actually doing this kind of astronomy in Utah. Best wishes, Joe
