Well, radio astronomy is more than just crackling noise, if you do it right. For a start, the following resources may be useful:

I think there's too much interference in singapore to do radio astronomy. In the US, amateurs who do it have to stay far from cities to get better reception.. I wouldn't wanna spend money building a dish just to hear Perfect 10 98.7FM :P
