Materials mentioned in the video:
- Sides→alumnium sheet metal (can also use insulation board covered with aluminum foil)
- Waveguide→aluminium “flashing” (can also use standard paint thinner can (?))
- Assembling parts of the pyramid→pop rivets
- receiver→low noise amplifier and sdr dongle
- tie the system together→ connectors
- copper probe soldered into the connector which is attached to the waveguide
