The instrumentation requirements alone make radio astronomy seem a poor
choice for a hobby: Parabolic dishes dozens of meters in diameter,
tracking systems with sub-arcsecond precision, cooled ultra-low-noise
receiver frontends and FPGA spectrometers put the discipline beyond the
reach of most enthusiasts.
Some groups, however, got the opportunity of working on former
professional telescopes. The team of Astropeiler Stockert e.V. is one of
the more active groups in Europe.
This talk presents the project's
development from the first site cleanup in 2006 to the latest pulsar
measurements only seven years later. Apart from the development of the
tracking and control system, the instrumentation and algorithms used
will be discussed, followed by an overview of the latest results and an
outlook towards possible interferometry measurements.
