An Amish scientist should live and work there.

I've been there! (And yes, up the telescope, too!). Tom, did you know a few miles from the NRAO / GBT, the National Youth Science Camp program has been held every summer since 1963? I'm a big fan of your talks, I think you should check it out and consider giving a talk or directed study there!

Great Historical comedy. Melancholic when we see how easy it is to fool the masses. Do you know there are still people who believe they live on a spinning ball of water. Thanks for the laugh.

Heaven for me. No-one will phone you at 3:00AM EVER again. Heaven for my spectrum analyser :)

Chuck from better call saul would love to live here

Tom I'm a sound recordist and I'm curious how you were allowed to use a lavaliere microphone system right next to the telescope since that broadcasts in UHF frequencies. did you hard-line your mic or use a boom mic instead?

Couldn't they have put it in Montana? I don't think anybody lives there.

Do satellites transmit on a different band, then?

I got to visit this place as a field trip with the scholars program at U Maryland! It is amazing and MASSIVE. No photos can do it justice. We were lucky enough to get to sleep over and actually use their smaller radio telescopes to look for hydrogen in the milky way! Super cool, and the people there were very friendly and informative. A lot of people also had bikes to ride around the base in so as to reduce interference.

Why are they wearing hard hats?

Took a trip there once with my Civil Air Patrol squadron, They let us use one of the small telescopes!!!

Enjoyed the views. A "sister article" (print journalism) might be in place here :-) : http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2016/09/13/shuttered-naval-base-in-west-virginia-for-sale.html

What prevents people from arcing a 9V battery and producing AM waves?

I live just a half an hour away from here
Tucked away in a valley in the Allegheny Mountains in West Virginia, is this: the Green Bank Radio Telescope, the largest steerable radio telescope in the world. And there are some rather special rules for the area around it... Thanks to Justin Richmond-Decker and Mike Holstine at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank for inviting me over and letting us film at the Telescope on one of their maintenance days! For more about the Green Bank Observatory: https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/gbt Want a tour? You can!
