On 10 February, we will have all-day tours at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) Very Large Array and Long Wavelength Array (VLA/LWA) site about 1 hour drive west of Socorro. In the morning we will tour the VLA, actually the EVLA or Expanded VLA. You can find information on the VLA/EVLA here: http://www.vla.nrao.edu/. In the afternoon we will tour Station 1 of the Long Wavelength Array. Info on LWA1 is here: http://www.phys.unm.edu/~lwa/index.html

If you plan to go on the tour, be sure to bring a wind breaker and as a contingency bring warm outer clothing. The open desert in February could be cool and windy.
