RE: [amsat-bb] Dish stacking

I don't remember if it was in CQ or in QST, but within the last year, there
was an article on the Very Small Array, located (I think) in Pennsylvania.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Dish stacking




When browsing i fell on the following text. Did any one ever tested dish or
BBQ grill stacked system?

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio
observatories, consists of 
27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin
fifty miles west of 
Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (81 feet) in diameter. The
data from the 
antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna
36km (22 miles) across, 
with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. {HYPERLINK
