[asac]First Light on Prototype ALMA Antenna

[Al Wootten]

Folks,

Congratulations are due Tucson engineering and to the ALMA Test Facility 
folks for successfully detecting the moon at 1 and 3mm in total power with the 
Vertex antenna last night with the evaluation receiver.  This is a 
tremendous achievement on the road to ALMA!

Clear skies,
Al
