@thanhhuynh272 - 2024-11-07

Tasmanian here. My father once worked for/with Grote Reber. He came here to Tas to get as far away from low frequency radio waves as possible…(stuff below 30MHz)…where the ionosphere was reflective. On very long, cold winter noghts the ionodphere would neutralize eniugh for him to “see out” at 1MHz. (AM radio band frequency). His Telescope was a phased affay of dipoles, phasing allower for N-S beam directing and for E-W directing he just used the Earth’s rotation.
This was all at Denouston, a sheep grazing property just north east of Bothwell, where Grote had built his Passive Solar House. All his gear ran from batteries and the older stiff used 1 volt valves, 1T4’s and the like. He showed me the head amp from his first dish from Illnois, it was sll point to point and had two 955 acorn valves in it. At Denouston, he used sodium tetraborate around the bases of the poles of his phased array to keep the insects and other lifeforma from rotting them off st ground level. The statement in the video about “cow poo and low noise amps” was also very evident at Grote’s site.

Later, when I was at Uni, we had to buy this text book for Astronomy, think the suthor was Abell, and had a pucture of Centarus A on the cover I recall….after I got it, i just opened in randomly in the middle…as you do…and there was a pictire of Grote as a chapter heading….I knew where he had sn office, sbout 2Km away, so I took the book there to show him. When he saw the pucture in the book, he said in his mild Illinois accent, “Oh yeah, this one was in 1962!” And he signed his name across it and put the date of the pucture on it….I had not asked him to do this, he just did it of his own volition. That book is now a treasured possession now he has been passed these 22 years. Could tell loads of stories about him, like the time he burned my mothers apple slice, or “buried” my brother in sacks of sodium tetraborate…but that’t for another day.
Jay Lockman has many similar personality trats to Grote, “they know thsy are ‘famous’ but they downply it to the maxx” and a really humble, logical and polite and have lots of diverse interests….like the Messherschmidt three wheeler car in his bathroom! I’m really glad i knew Grote reber, pity more of the modern generation don’t know of him and use him as a role model….the worl would be a far better place.

@sandypiper9454 - 2025-01-05

As a Gen X, what I find most entertaining about this quiet zone is that this is largely how we grew up before the 90s. Paper maps, no phones, no internet, we did have TV and cable, but you wrote everything down, and you lived in the present with those who were literally around you in the moment. You had landlines and tried to stretch that phone cord all the way from the kitchen to your room where you shut the door, line underneath, and hoped your siblings and parents couldnt hear you talking to your boyfriend. Real books, bikes, etc. Hearing this called old fashioned or treated like some foreign concept is boggling and interesting.

@ericainbloom - 2024-11-29

@@pk3 Irish and Scots were basically shoved into the hills of West Virginia. it was the only land that was "left" to give to people during the time and thats why we are known for being impoverished and uneducated. The stigma the scots irish already had before settling in the states was exactly that. Irish people weren't even considered white for a long time, but their own race. Obviously, they were white, but it was a prejudice against the Irish people that other white Europeans had, ONLY other white Europeans, to make that clear. Too poor and uneducated to be considered white. A lot of Irish people immigrated to the US, because of how impoverished they were in their home country. Especially if there was more than one child, the oldest would be the only one to have a leg up in life, because they would ultimately inherit their family home and land. The younger ones had to do what they could to get by after that. A big reason why there were so many Irish on the Titanic, it boarded in Belfast, first. There is a documentary about the Irish who were lost to the Titanic. Feel free to fact check me on some of this, my memory is not what it used to be, and I try my best to fact check myself when responding. Just be kind about it, because I enjoy sharing knowledge that none of us are born with and I also enjoy learning from others with respect to one another.

With a little deep diving, we discovered that the Appalachian mountain range used to be connected to Scotland, Ireland and Wales before Pangea split up and when settlers from the above moved to America, they especially liked it there because it looked so much like home hence the Celtic music influence. Mind blown 🤯

This video randomly popped up on my homepage and OH my god I am glad it did. Everything fell in place perfectly, from meeting Kate and then ending up meeting Jay (probably one of the most important people in his field of work), to ending up back at his house and the Kate getting to play music with him. You have got yourselves another subscriber.

I worked for a company that did maintenance for the Green Bank Telescope. Me and like 4 other guys went down for a week and stayed in a house like 10 minutes away from the telescope. I even got to go up and walk out onto the dish, was a truly unique experience. Great video showing off this cool area for more people to learn about!

Thank you guys for coming to West Virginia! I was born and raised here (Charleston) and watching the drive brought back so many wonderful childhood memories. My dad had an uncle who lived not far from Green Bank (Arborvale, I believe is the name). Seeing the telescope was always amazing to me. And also, thank you for showing the people, who are true West Virginians, not ignorant, toothless, and barefoot as so many are commenting. The history of Appalachia itself is unique- and finding people who are proud and more than happy to say, "This is my home," and mean it it's born within us is rare. Please come back- you were both kind, considerate and I do believe surprised- the stereotypes are not the full story. You found a hidden, misunderstood gem- and it's our entire state. <3

Pretty awesome you had such a wonderful time.

@WRover4669 - 2024-11-05

We had a camp basically across the street, maybe a a mile a way, from the observatory. I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw Mike Burns and his wife at the end of the video. He was playing fiddle with the WVU hat on. He was my stepmoms cousin and I have many great memories visiting them at their house and him and his brother playing guitar and singing at the family reunions at North Bend State Park. My past and one of my favorite YouTube channels just collided. Thank you!

This was just fascinating! People who are so deeply immersed in the study of the whole Universe, are special. They have a vision like no one. Also it’s been so emotional to see you guys supporting Kate’s passion. I am a musician too, and I know what it means to get the right gear to make something professional out of your talent and hardwork. And the Appalachian music is so so deeply authentic and raw, she can become very successful with that! Pursuing ethno music nowadays is a real gem and it has a huge potential! Impressive trip again, you guys are amazing!

This video made me feel the full spectrum of emotion. From hearing Kate’s spine tinglingly beautiful voice in that church, being able to view the quaint epic landscapes of the Appalachian mountains, the sense of community in a seemingly “disconnected” place, the sheer scale of that telescope, the knowledge of the universe gifted to us from Lockman, the confusing yet eye opening conversation with somebody who suffers with electromagnetic hypersensitivity and finally new friends creating music together and forming connections. Was honestly so amazing and made my evening. Thank you once again guys for such an educational and entertaining video! YT for life!
