Radioastronomy

[joellapointe1717]

Hi.
(Sorry if my english is bad!)
I want to use a simple TV dish antenna to listen the sky.
I would like to know if a PC card could exploiting those antennas to chose the
listened Frequency with a wanted bandwidth and record the signal at this frequency.
I would like to know if I can analyse the spectrum with a dish antenna.

Thank you for your help, I don't know because I'm not student in electronics.

Do you mean an older (larger) dish, maybe 3 meters across or so?

There are many radio astronomy websites which you could view and understand how to assemble a radio astronomy station using such a dish.

The quick answer would be: Yes, absolutely.
