That’s it! And Author Mudgway turns out to be from Sonoma, a town in my

In a similar vein I recommend “The Measure of All Things,” by Ken Alder,
the story of Méchain and Delambre and the history of the meter. (Published
by The Free
Press in 2002.)

The reason that this report was in the Lick library is that the

Some of the stories of deep space communication are really interesting.
Round-trip light times measured in hours, data rates measured in bits per
minute, remote transmitters with only a few watts. The knowledge is limited
to just a handful of people, I suppose.

One thing in all these DSN histories is that they don't make very much
of the essential thing that separates Deep Space radio links from Near
Earth radio links, and that's the timing: specifically the coherent link
between the received signal and transmitted signal. I suspect that's
just becau

That's the page where the aliens came and told us how to build the DSN,
then the story resumes with 26m antenna design and operation.
