In Malaysia and in terms of foregrounds, radio observation is an excellent alternative to optical observation to detect extra-terrestrial objects. Clouds and rains do not effect sky's radio measurements. However, the main obstacle is the Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI), especially man-made. Thus careful choice of observing sites is important. The work in this paper shows results of observations at University of Malaya, which is deemed to be a sufficient, but by far not the best site for Jupiter tracking in Malaysia. A Yagi antenna is used for RFIs measurements and a dipole antenna is used for transit tracking of radio Jupiter. Two detections of radio Jupiter bursts and one solar radio burst detection are reported. Repository Staff Only: item control page
