Following advice from members of SARA on how to make one of these for hydrogen line radio observing, I’ve had a go at making a cantenna and am amazed at how easy it is to make and how effective – instant results!

See to view first light trace.

Given that the Nooelec 1.4GHz mesh aerial went up from ?50 to ?100 and is now ?132 on Amazon, a cheap alternative is really needed!!

This would be great alternative for the SARA Scope in a Box Project.

If I can get my interferometer working then will be really interesting as next step to see if fringes can be obtained with 2 cantennae!!!
