A lot of the gear, such as the MASER, was in buildings on the ground which suffered little or no damage.

Hi

Based on what’s known publicly, the gear that was not destroyed is still
siting there waiting for a decision about “what’s next”. There are a lot of 
ideas kicking around.

To me no joy, sadness for Astronomy, Science, Puerto Rico and the US. China is now the leader with a 500 meter unit! Did follow it since the seventies because of the low noise receivers.  Remember the 417 Triodes? I had some for Ham use.                                                                   Any body knows what happened to its Maser?                                                                                                             Bert Kehren
