UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA AT FAIRBANKS

The campus is quite an impressive skyline site when entering Fairbanks
from the south.
We hiked a trail that is used by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks
for research and experimentation.
While walking, we heard a strange humming for several minutes that
sounded like a low key air raid siren before encountering a huge
parabolic dish antenna.
KC and I thought the dish was used for directing a Martian landing; it
actually is used for receiving signals from earth observing satelites.
