Abstract
We consider a method for taking into account the irregularity of distributed cosmic radiation in measurement of the antenna-temperature increment when the antenna is pointed successively at the source and a reference area. A procedure and algorithms for processing observational data that make it possible to improve the accuracy and standardize the measurement procedure are described. The results of a test of this method at a frequency of 575 MHz using four of the most powerful discrete radio sources are reported.
