Interference Monitoring at Green Bank
An interference monitoring program was conducted with the NRAO 140 Foot
telescope from May 1995 to July 1996. The sky frequencies monitored during
the program ranged from 50 MHz to 3.4 GHz. The results
of the program are presented as spectra of interference amplitude and frequency
of occurrrence. With these spectra, one can estimate to what degree interference
may adversely impact spectral line observations. Additionally, the spectra
can be used to identify relatively clean
observing bands for continuum observations.

Notes
More recently a database has been developed to record observed radio
frequency interference. It can be accessed by anyone with a Green
