I worked at Arecibo Observatory in the planetary radar group.  If you have any questions about Arecibo Observatory or USRA or living in Puerto Rico feel free to ask.  It's a phenomenal interdisciplinary facility involved in not only radio astronomy, but also aeronomy, atmospheric lidar, and planetary radar. 
 Sincerely,

Imagine the knobs on that receiver, though...

[Fansome]

Yes, it's settled science that the effectiveness of a receiver is directly proportional to the number of knobs included.

Besides, you would have been arrested for exceeding the daily limit on chupacabras before you were there a month, D. Boone Fansome.

They're not the challenge those Sierra Sasquatches that you cut your teeth on are. Most people use throw sticks like you would for a rabbit, for chupacabra.
