Not well maintained, perhaps.Jeramiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04283553022103348723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-67576673843481485142008-08-16T00:11:00.000-07:002008-08-16T00:11:00.000-07:00"This is the largest Radio Telescope in the world and it's in Mexico<BR/><BR/>http://www.lmtgtm.org"<BR/><BR/>No its not, It doesnt even get close, Jodrell Bank is the third largest steerable radio telescope and thats 77m, The one posted in the link is 50m.<BR/><BR/>As for Radio Telescopes in general, Well Im sure we all know Aricebo is the biggest single dish by far.<BR/><BR/>I went to see Jodrell Bank not long ago, Im only 50 miles from it, If you live near one of these dishes they are well worth the visit, Very impressive to see them moving about, And the size of them is incredible.Markonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-29300605866644235112008-08-01T14:03:00.000-07:002008-08-01T14:03:00.000-07:00This is the largest Radio Telescope in the world and it's in Mexico<BR/><BR/>http://www.lmtgtm.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-46625563918810444402008-08-01T10:37:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:37:00.000-07:00The "horn antenna" is actually not very exotic.
