NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
TO: Addressee
FROM: Ron Maddalena
SUBJECT: List of 140-ft 'systems' and the people to call
The attached document is a list of the important systems at the 140-ft and the names of people who are responsible for those systems. My list compliments those recently generated by the electronics division.
The list is divided into four categories: (1) observing systems, (2) user and telescope software, (3) network software and hardware, and (4) telescope hardware. For each item in the list I give at most two names of which the first represents the person who is primarily responsible for the item and the second the person who is responsible if the first is unavailable. I also give the extension and home phone numbers for each person. For some items, there is only one person responsible, for others there is no one responsible
Please keep me informed of any changes to the list.
