[Elecraft] Used antenna - Arecio antenna collapses

[Michael Walker]

Sorry, not funny.

Arecibo was a great site and there are a number of Hams that are part of
the dish and who were employed thanks to the installation.

It is a pretty sad day, not only for the loss of technology, but also their
livelihood.
