### SOLVE SKYDIP

Skydips are special scans where the antenna is moved in elevation at a fixed azimuth. For each elevation (regularly spaced in airmass), total power from the sky, , and the hot load, , are recorded. Since one knows the effective temperature of the hot load, , one can derive either the receiver temperature, , or the forward efficiency , , via:
