Hi All,

Wondering what it's like to be an array operator at the Very Large Array? I hope to give you some idea in the following pages. Nothing fancy here, folks. Just some pretty pictures, some general information on the VLA, and a rundown of what my duties were during the October 14th observing session for the class research project. This is pretty bare bones at this point; I hope to add more information and references as time goes on. Feel free to ask any questions, make comments, suggestions, the usual.

Cheers,

Colleen
