Note: I sent this inquiry to your Education Outreach person yesterday, but 

copying it to you in case they're unavailable to respond.

Hello,

I'm presenting an exhibit on space weather and its effects on radio 

communications and other technologies at UNC-G (Greensboro, North Carolina) 

next month as part of their NC Science Festival event, "Science Everywhere." 

In addition to an amateur radio station we'll have two solar telescopes for 

visual observations and I would very much like to have a small radio 

telescope set up so visitors can "hear the sun" as well as see it. I don't 

know anyone in the Greensboro area who has a portable radio telescope and I'm 

hoping you can put me in touch with someone in my area who would be able to 

bring theirs and explain to visitors what they're hearing. The event is from 

noon to 4 pm on Saturday April 11.

Thank you,

Rusty Moore, K1FVK
