We present the latest results from our on-going campaign of radio monitoring observations of radio-loud blazars with the Morehead State University 21-Meter Space Tracking Antenna (STA). With its medium aperture and location in a radio-quiet rural environment, the STA is a unique research instrument suitable for undergraduate research projects in radio astrophysics. One project which lends itself easily to participation by undergraduate students is monitoring observations of radio-loud blazars: with this goal in mind, we have been conducting such observations at the frequencies of KU band and L-band of a sample of approximately five radio-loud blazars. We illustrate this work with a discussion of our observations made of the blazar 3C 454.3 during the 2009 calendar year: initial results will be presented and discussed.
