OT carbon fiber RX

[alsopb]

 From a press release on the ALMA radio telescope.

http://www.wral.com/chile-s-alma-probes-for-origins-of-universe/11705356/

"Each antenna is perched on a rotating steel pedestal with precisely
installed copper lining to protect from lightning. Each dish has a
sensitive receiver made of carbon fiber to avoid thermal expansion. "

I wonder if it is an SDR....
