The Jodrell-IAC CMB experiments at Teide Observatory, Tenerife consisting of switching radiometers operating at 10, 15 and 33 GHz, and a 33 GHz short baseline interferometer, have covered up to an area of 1 steradian at angular scales from 1° to 10° (l = 20 − 210). Sensitivities of 10μK per beam area have been reached for a combination the most sensitive experiments allowing a measure of the CMB fluctuation amplitude of 30±8μK using mapping techniques which fully exploit the whole data set. Attempts have been made to separate out galactic radio foregrounds and to place limits on a possible spinning dust contribution.
