Wow. I had no idea he was still alive. I met him in graduate school, which was a long, long time ago.

What a fantastic discovery and collaboration. Like many PF members I enjoy working on and reusing old electronic equipment for new missions. Discovering the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) using an old musty radar receiver ranks among the finest.
