>Well, there was a bit of incompetence.

Where? What evidence do you have for such a claim?

>The auxiliary cable was almost certainly installed incorrectly

Are you almost certain? How do you know? What stopped you from being completely certain?

>and the failure mode that occurred (cable slipped out of its socket) would not have happened if best practices were followed.

Are you a radio observatory specialist? Please share! Looking at your submission and comment history, you don't appear to have any special expertise at all. Curious where your very specific and definite pronouncements arise from.

>But it was installed on the cheap

Again: What's your evidence for this claim? And inferring this from historical under-funding isn't a satisfactory answer.

>So at some level, yeah, the root cause is a lack of funds.

Kind of strange to make all of those claims above and then come out and just plainly state this at the conclusion.

You've made lots of claims and I think you're just talking out of your ass. If that's the case, your comments are shameful and inappropriate.




When it comes to the matter of cables failing, you should look to a specialist in cables, not radio telescopes.


why are you so angry?
