Other Interesting Images Some of the most interesting times of that period were spent with the SARA group at NRAO. That is where I got a look at the very first amateur built radio telescope. This one is still at NRAO and was built by Grote Reber in a Chicago suburb back in 1932. Its still the best home built antenna that I know of. (Grote Reber died on the last few days of 2002. Truly a pioneer). Fall Of The 300 - One of the other antennas at NRAO was the 300 foot drift scan machine. This was a truly awesome thing that collapsed of its own weight about six months after I saw it. The 300 was being used as a SETI antenna during a project called SERENDIP (Serendipity) that used the antenna in a parasitic mode. This antenna came to an inglorious end at 9:43 PM EST on Tuesday the 15 of November 1988. That cold night the 300 foot simply collapsed. The failure was due to the failure of a key structural element - a large gusset plate in the box girder assembly that formed the main support for the antenna.  Before the Fall - November 15, 1988 
After the Fall - November 16, 1988 photos by Richard Porcas The replacement antenna is up and running at NRAO now. I'll add more information and pictures to this section as I think of it. There was an even earlier Zeke that was completely hand built from TTL logic and was the first computer built by a single person that I know of (myself).
