Abstract
A modified version of NASA's Radio JOVE project was developed. A software defined radio (SDR) was utilized to widen the frequency band beyond the limits of the project JOVE observations, and a portable antenna design was employed. Recorded observations were made of Jupiter and the Sun during December of 2010.
