"Hola",

Just a few lines explaining my QSL card etc This picture was taken during filming of the movie "Contact", of which I had a lot of fun helping out. It shows the "platform" suspended 500 feet in the air from three towers above 1000 feet of spherical aluminum dish below. The rotating "azimuth arm" houses two antenna systems that move in elevation (20 degrees from vertical) along a track on it's underside. This in turn rotates (720 degrees) around the circular track on the "triangle".

I do work at the Radio-Telescope and have been since 1977. I'm currently Head of Telescope Operations and Spectrum Manager. What a great place to work if you're a ham.

If you're in Puerto Rico please look us up. There are quite a few hams at the site and if you like golf maybe we can play a round or two!

Hope to work you on the bands or in an upcoming contest!
