When you posted your first entry?
Radio telescopes are just directional antennas.

In other news, I just lost 2 hour's worth of work because I didn't click save at the prompt. FML. Time to go home.

The one I posted was designed, built, erected and used by my father for over thirty years. He won several awards for it. He participated in ionospheric physics testing during the International Geophysical Year plus, it was the cover shot for an issue of CQ magazine.
I don't get to brag much as I have few accomplishments of my own. However, my father had many and they're all the more impressive knowing he was self taught.

Ah no, Arecibo Observatory is in the municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. It is operated by University of Central Florida, Yang Enterprises and UMET, under cooperative agreement with the US National Science Foundation The observatory is the sole facility of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), which is the formal name of the observatory.From its construction in the 1960s until 2011, the observatory was managed by Cornell University.
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope nicknamed Tianyan. ("Sky Eye" or "The Eye of Heaven") is a radio telescope located in the Dawodang depression, a natural basin in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, southwest China.
Google is my friend. (Even though it tracks my every move and keystroke.)
