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,

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.
