Hi all,

Some on this list will be interested in news from Puerto Rico -- and
particularly about people at the Arecibo Observatory, and the big dish
itself.

I spoke with my good friend Angel, WP3R, on 14.260 MHz around 6:15 pm
this evening. His news was that things on the island are generally very
bad: no power and essentially no communication except via ham radio. He
and his wife Eva are OK, and as far as he knows all Observatory
personnel are safe and OK. The 430 MHz line feed on the big dish broke
in half, fell down, and made some holes in the big dish. Roads are
mostly impassable. It seems fortunate that more lives were not lost,
but it will clearly take a long time to get things back to normal.
