Mothballed dishes on Table Mountain. I saw plentiful opportunities for power-washing.

Presenting on Sunday morning about the South Pole, the Askaryan Radio
At the top of the pier at the Plishner Radio Observatory dish. That was a small crooked hole for a large man at the top of a long, long ladder. I did NOT squeeze all the way onto the tiny platform, because I would have only had to squeeze back. But I still checked this off on my bucket list. I also note the “USS” logo: (United States Steel) just inside the hatch (not visible in the photo).
