- Well, I dunno about that, Bill. Surely adjusting a temperamental LNA at

- Seriously, though, I'm involved in a project to build an amateur radio
- telescope (21cm with 200m baseline) that will be subject to remote
- control and automatic operation. I have toyed with the notion of
- putting it on the INTERNET once our principle projects are complete.
