@KJ7OMO former #NRAO #hamradio #project students based in #Aotearoa (NZ) got US Technician's licenses. Don't ask me what they can do with them in Aotearoa because the only license that exists there is equivalent to extra class here. They will need to upgrade 2x to do anything locally...but I digress again.

Just discovered that the #curriculum my team built for the @thenrao #hamradio project has been erased from the #NRAO website. The #moodle instance is completely erased.

".. full-scale cell network on the moon would add further noise to the night sky."

The second resource is actually a combination of resources: the image collections of NRAO, ESO, NAOJ, and the Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) proper:

I just gave a talk about the ALMA telescope and its development program to my ex-colleagues at SKAO, and I just wanted to share two wonderful resources that I found. The first one, is the NRAO Archives, which includes things such as this interview with Frank Drake (yes, the one that came up with the Drake Equation for the probability of the existence of life we could communicate with in our galaxy):

@weezmgk I’m looking for a project for the students in the #nrao General license #hamradio class next year. I want each one of them to have their own #hf transceiver

The first group of students in the #nrao #hamradio project passed their tech exams 🥳 4 new #amateurradio operators released into the wild. Muhahahaha! 5 more to go. No ham left behind!

Applications are open for the 20 seats in the fall #NRAO #hamradio #project! Please spread the word!
#amateurradio is a great entre into careers in #wirelesscommuncations, #astrophysics, #broadcasting, #IOT and other #STEM and #STEAM related careers. Targeting #BIPOC and/or #LGBTQIA #students 18-20 years old. For more info, go to https://superknova.org/ham-radio-project/
We're also need guest speakers, mentors, #teaching assistants as well! Interested? . #blackmastodon #blackstem #blackFediverse

Don't forget: tomorrow, 1 February, is the deadline for the #NRAO
Semester 2023B Call for Proposals! If you want time on the #VLA or the #VLBA, get your proposals in by 22:00 UT (5pm ET).

I get an email every time a proposal comes in, so I'm expecting a full inbox tomorrow!

It's wild to me that we have known about MWC 349A since the late '80s but only just now noticed the material jet blasting out of its center at "impossibly high speeds," according to the NRAO.

"#ALMA Successfully Restarted Observations"
December 19, 2022

"Forty-eight days after suspending observations due to a #cyberattack, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is observing the sky again. The #computing staff has worked diligently to rebuild the affected #observatory’s #computer system servers and services. This is a crucial milestone in the recovery process."
