Yes, in a way.

Think of a single dish radio telescope as a one-pixel camera, where measuring the emission intensity at each point in the sky lets you build up a map. Typically, this is done with high resolution on the frequency axis, which is used to map Doppler shifts for spectral lines of Hydrogen, for example [1].

With a rooftop antenna, it's not likely to be a very sensitive map, though. You'll see the Sun, and its easy to see the Milky Way transit overhead, but other than that ...

Very nice, even with no planes overhead. But it looks like the map orientation is reversed (off by 180 degrees)? Real bug, or just me?
