Hi Marcus,
Brilliant. I am in the middle of assembling my own radio telescope,
but had not thought Pulsar reception would be possible.
I have a couple of questions on the RF Hardware. I see from some other
updates, that the antenna is essentially sets of a 4 bay HDTV antenna.
How are you phasing them all together ? Just additive combiners with
same length coax ? What amplification are you using before feeding
them to the SDR ? Or ?
Best Regards
Iain

One of the many goals we set for ourselves at the Canadian Centre for
Experimental Radio Astronomy was to successfully observe
pulsar B0329+54 before spring. This pulsar is the only one bright
enough for a small observatory in the northern hemisphere to
observe.
See our update:

The software is available via github:

No custom blocks required--just a modern Gnu Radio install, and ideally,
pyephem.
Doing this with Gnu Radio was so very easy...
