  Hi John, NASA has a simular facility in the Owens Valley, California. If you ever have a chance to get up close you will see that these dishes are HUGE. Thanks for sharing your shot.

  Amazing that you were able to get this close up to it, Brother John! How exciting. I wonder if they have ever heard anything interesting?? Beep-beep-dee-beep! Seems unfair that they never tell us anything much about it.

Love this shot!
