The aim of this project is to see if the Alston Observatory site, an observation site owned by the University of Central Lancashire, and operated by the Jeremiah Horrocks institute, located in Preston, England, is suitable for a small teaching radio telescope. A SDRPlay RSPdx with an OmniLOG 90200 antenna will be used to take readings of the RFI environment at and around 1.42GHz, known as the hydrogen line, which will be the frequency the telescope would observe at. I will record and present the RFI environment of the site. This will allow any sources of interference to be identified and removed, if possible, with a further goal of a permanent RFI survey station that is remotely accessible using a Raspberry Pi.
