Description
Advances in computers and digital signal processing have enabled routine observations of galactic radio signals in a classroom setting. The participants of the Digital Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy (DSPIRA) RET program at West Virginia University have developed extensive lessons for teachers and hobbyists on building, operating, and using radio horn telescopes at an affordable level. Recently the DSPIRA group has used horn telescopes to conduct investigations in radio interferometry. Descriptions and some initial results of these investigations will be presented.
