Contritbutions by the Naval Research Laboratory

We are very thankful to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), specifically Joe Helmboldt, for their contributions to this project in the form of telescope components and coaxial cable, and for supplying the backend electronics for the telescope.

Contritbutions by Hillsdale College

We thank Hillsdale College for their donations of coaxial cable, two of our four antennas, and front-end electronics (FEEs) to our project, along with funding team t-shirts for our undergraduate students. We also completed our radio frequency interference (RFI) survey of the site using a Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analyzer donated to Hillsdale College.
