    Sad day for radio astronomy

    Pretty dingy there.. at least back in 94 when we pulled into Ponce for a few days on the GW. Anyone remember the "Arecibo Message" that was sent from there in 1974? Guess no aliens with advanced technology live within 46 light years from "here". So far LOL..

    Help from France: Phase linear 700b

    Another cause is with the clamps to hold it in place. Tighten too much and it binds up the movement. Hate them things

    Help from France: Phase linear 700b

    Yep, switch left and right and see if the problem follows. If it doesn't, likely the attenuation switch, wiring, or cold solder joint.
