Try frequencies above 20 Mhz (the first detection of the decameter
Jovian radio bursts was something like 21.1 Mhz or so). Most seem to
like the range of 20 to 24 Mhz, although I have heard of some
observations as high as 35 Mhz. The emissions sound a little like ocean
waves on a beach. They can be surprisingly loud, but even so, it takes
a good shortwave receiver and a directional antenna (and a bit of luck)
to hear them. Clear skies to you.
