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.

Over the years I have to admit coming up with some no-so good ideas for products. The Skipping Cassette Decks, (In case you missed record skipping.), never took. Water Resistant Lollipops never caught on either, even though you could enjoy those in the rain and in the shower. Then, there's the Anatomically Correct Mrs. Butterworth Syrup Dispenser. (Just guess where the syrup came out of.) Nope, no takers.

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.
