The recently completed Rhodes/HartRAO 2300 MHz radio continuum survey is the highest resolution and highest frequency survey of the entire southern sky. This makes it useful for those wishing to model the Galactic foreground in order to study cosmic background emission. Unfortunately there are low-amplitude, large-scale gradients in the survey data which make it difficult to interpret the very high latitude Galactic emission. We describe a small, low-cost horn telescope which we hope to use to correct the gradients in the survey data.
