Hi again group (and Dave)!
Since there is not a lot of traffic on the HBQRP reflector right now, I thought that I would pass along this interesting bit of reading from
the WIRED.com web site..
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/10/gbt-nrao-tour/
Its an article on the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) antenna and the 13,000 square mile quiet zone around this HUGE antenna. The movable dish could contain an entire football stadium.. not just the field, but the whole stadium. 2.3 acre's!
Check out the pictures and story on the page links at the bottom of each web page.
