"Gordon Brown interviews John R Smith"
John R Smith was a pioneer of amateur radio astronomy in the UK who influenced people to embark on their own radio astronomy projects. These papers span many years, so you will need to see past the older technology in the earlier writings to the clear explanations of the principles and concepts that are as fresh today as when they were written. We are pleased to be able to make them available to those who have not had the opportunity to read them before. This video features the radio telescope built by John Smith and Ken Tapping, now of the DRAO.
