Um. The equivalent *diameter* is about 134 feet.
The equivalent *aperture* depends on how far apart they are.
Right. Careless of me.

It might also be useful to ask why they are getting rid of them...

Henry is right, as usual. The year was 1982, the satellite was UO-9,
and the dish was Stanford's 150-footer, whi

If I'm not mistaken, that was a different dish -- Stanford has one real
biggie in addition to this s
AMSAT has the satellites and they work with the ARRL for band plans. I
will forward this info to some of my ham lists, the right people will
probably see it. Some EME (Earth Moon Earth) people would probably be
interested in the gain.

Five 60 foot dishes is a lot of antenna. Privately owned Deep Space
Network, anyone?
Less improbably,
Hmmm... large dish antennas for radio astronomy "or other uses"... I'm
wondering if "other uses" might include space vehicle communications?
(I haven't the faintest idea if this has a "save the site" plan in it
somewhere, but perhaps it's worth considering...)

Dear Fellow Space Enthusiasts,
As I mentioned in a previous posting, Stanford University is decommissioning
an array of 60 foot radio telescopes located off Alpine Road near the
University. This site was used for many years for radio astronomy by
Stanford University Professor Ronald Bracewe
