Hi guys, I live in Auburn CA . About 2 miles from the Chief programmer/software engineer for Hat Creek. Hat Creek is east of Redding CA a LONG drive from here, but spectacular country. Apparently a world renowned Fly Fishing place. Fly fishermen have told me (I don't fish) that Hat Creek is on a lot of Fishermen's bucket list. We met by accident, having been a mile apart for many years. We occasionally have coffee together; He invited me to come up, and assist in some rack mounted stuff that he worked on, with a thermal heating problem. The place is awesome in many ways. Isolated; leading edge, super high speed computers fiber optics, currently 41 or 42 dishes, some day to expand on the same site to 350 in number I have a FB album of the site, interior and exterior I can send a link. Take a look:

It is WAY out in the middle of nowhere.. as might be inspected. If there was a group that wanted to coordinate an insider's tour I could help arrange that, if it is possible. In fact, the place has overnight accommodations, kitchen, dining hall, and a dynamite technical library, etc.. So, let me know Give me a person contact info for the Time nuts group.. and I will see what is possible. I will have to ask about what exists as precision time equipment there..
