1st light Callisto University of Nairobi Kenya

1st light of a Callisto system at University of Nairobi UoN in Kenya. It depicts some type III bursts. The antenna was built in their local workshop and it is based on the Indian/Mauritius design. The system was set up in Nov. 2011, see pictures below in this blog. The sensitivity is not as good as expected due to different reasons like high level of rfi and inperfect antenna construction. Nevertheless the instrument is operational, congratulations to the UoN-team.

Radio Frequency monitoring in Stará Turá, Slovakia

Spectral overview in hotel LIPA in Stará Turá, Slovakia during 21st national Solar Physics Meeting. The antenna is a biconical from AARONIA, Callisto is without preamplifier. This location is much better in terms of rfi than SCO in Hurbanovo.

Low frequency type III at DARO

Karl-Heinz Gansel DL6EBS of DARO observed a nice type III solar radio burst with his home built T2FD antenna connected to an up-converter + Callisto.

Callisto at National Space Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Callisto project in Malaysia is hosted by Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA) and there are three (3) universities that collaborate in this project: (1) University of Malaya, (2) University Kebangsaan Malaysia and (3) Universiti Teknologi MARA. Installation and configuration took place at ANGKASA in February 2012. Temperature was+37°C.

Callisto University of Nairobi, Kenya

Installation of a Callisto system at the University of Nairobi in November 2011. The antenna was built in their own workshop after a design of University of Mauritius. The antenna was erected in January 2012 and data are archived at FHNW in Switzerland
