Folks

A press release went out today describing the first ALMA antenna 
successful move to 5000m last Thursday.  Please see:

Congratulations too all involved on this successful effort.  Radio 
pointing has begun with successful detections of Jupiter.  Within the 
next few weeks, two more antennas will arrive to keep the first one 
company and join it in interferometry over the next few months.

Clear skies,
Al
