At the Array Operations Site (AOS), there are currently four 12-meter antennas, which are under the performance evaluation. Since each of the antennas is usually evaluated separately, it is very rare that they are pointred in the same direction.
Today, due to a strong wind of 20 meters per second, all the four antennas were halted in the survival stow position (an elevation angle of 15 degrees), facing the east in perfect unison. The far right antenna is a Japanese antenna, and the rest of the antennas North American ones. (Picture and text provided by Norikazu Mizuno)
