  1. The International Space Station transmits radio signals at 145.80 MHz. Do some online research to determine when the ISS will be passing over your location and see if you can use one of your existing antenna setups to tune in. http://www.n2yo.com and http://www.heavens-above.com both have tools that allow you to track the ISS and determine when it will next pass over your current location.
  2. Pulsars emit radio waves as well, often around 400MHz. Is it possible to use your setup to capture the signal from a pulsar? How much amplification would you need to use? What would it even sound like?
  3. If, after reading this book, you’re hooked on the possibilities inherent in using SDR to listen to radio frequencies, try stepping it up in terms of the quality of the equipment you’re using. SDRPlay is a unit that many people have had success with, costs around $100, and comes with some good-quality software to play with.
