KP4CMO 1966 Arecibo, Puerto Rico
Operator: Rolf Dyce was the
associate director. He was a planetary scientist. He was also
involved with moonbounce with Sam Harris W8UKS.
What's interesting and rare about this QSL
card is that it shows Arecibo with the original "chicken
mesh" surface and no Gregorian dome.
The surface was upgraded to aluminum panels in 1974 and the
Gregorian Dome was installed in 1995 as depicted in WP3R's QSL card. WP3R
Rolf was a dear friend and was
the person that I worked with as a Summer student back in 1974
there on designing and building another 100 ft dish used with the
big 1000 ft dish.
He was the Associate Director and a really smart fellow. WA3FET
