West Virginia's Green Bank Rf Telescope gets a TX upgrade!
« on: February 01, 2021, 2016 UTC »
https://public.nrao.edu/news/successful-test-new-planetary-radar/    Seen this on the SWL'ing Post. Ever been there for a tour? It's well worth it! Especially, if you can get a scientist to lead the tour. (Hint-hint..) Don't request the interns to do it.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

It's in the National Radio Quiet Zone. Turn off your radios (all of them) when you enter the zone.

It would be really cool if the radar had enough resolution to see the base of the Apollo lander that was left behind and the "dune buggy" the astronauts used (for the first time in the Apollo program) while on the moon surface.
