Construction started in 1954, the telescope was completed in 1956.At that time it was the largest radio telescope in the world. As of 2000 it is no longer in operation in an official capacity and since August of 2009 is officially a Dutch industrial heritage monument. The C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station foundation CAMRAS for short , established on January 29, 2007, restored the telescope to working order, with the consent of ASTRON , the owner of the telescope. More information about CAMRAS can be found at http camras.nl . Paul Boven JIVE , CAMRAS , along with radio amateurs and amateur astronomers, use the telescope for projects, one being EME communications . EME, also known as moonbounce, allows for people on different parts of Earth to communicate via the Moon. In this technique, radio wave signals are aimed at the Moon by one location, bounce off the Moon s surface, and are detected by an antenna at a different location on Earth. The site of the Dwingeloo Radio Observatory also houses most of the staff of ASTRON , and a test site for LOFAR . Two galaxies are named after this telescope Dwingeloo 1 and Dwingeloo 2 .

    The Hat Creek Radio Observatory HCRO is operated by the Radio Astronomy Laboratory an Organized Research Unit of the Astronomy Department at the University of California, Berkeley in the Western United States. Location Hat Creek Radio Observatory is located approximately 467 km 290 miles North East of San Francisco, California at an elevation of 1280m 4200 ft above Sea Level in Hat Creek, California in Shasta County, California Shasta County . The nearest large city to Hat Creek is Redding, California on highway I 5. History HCRO was founded in the late 1950s by the newly created Radio Astronomy Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley. An 85 foot antenna was installed in 1962 and operated until 1993, when it collapsed during a wind storm. Using it, astronomers discovered the first interstellar maser . The earliest experiments in millimeter wave astronomy were performed at this site starting in the 1970s when a 2 element interferometer was constructed. From 1980 1985 a 3 element interferometer was constructed, with another four antennas added between 1990 1992. After the 85 foot dish was lost, another three antennas were added to the millimeter array for a total of ten elements. This came to be known as BIMA . The BIMA telescopes were moved in the spring of 2005 to be combined with other millimeter antennas as part of the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter wave Astronomy CARMA project and to make way for the Allen Telescope Array ATA . gallery caption Hat Creek Radio Astronomy Facilities widths 200px heights 200px perrow 3 Image ATA350 render.jpg Artist Rendering ... gallery External links http www.hcro.org Hat Creek Radio Observatory Webpage Includes tour and contact info. http bima.astro.umd.edu BIMA Website formerly HCRO http astro.berkeley.edu ral Radio Astronomy ...
