I'm in the long process (slow due to competing priorities) of building an 18" visual telescope because the views can be really cool and beautiful. Plus it blows my mind that I might be able to hand grind something to see light from deep space that could be thousands of years old.

So, my question is, are there any cool things I can do with a radio telescope that have that same sort of intrinsic cool/wow factor?
