I think they're pretty strict about it.

I mean, I've never been to Palm Springs and stayed there.

We should ask our friend who lives there.

Because maybe full-time residents have a little more leeway, but, you know, they do it because people, they don't want people just going and renting houses and just blowing out the neighborhood every weekend.

No, we're talking about the opposite of Palm Springs, which is Appalachia.

Yeah.

They're going to fold a map up and send us a correction.

Yeah, they'll be like, Josh was way off.

Well, you know where they might fold a map up is in the National Radio Quiet Zone because they still use those things.

That's right.

And to be clear, when you say radio transmissions, you're not talking about Casey Kasem's American Top 40.

Because we don't have a time machine and we're not going to exhume Casey Kasem.

I've stumbled upon those, and it is a nice time capsule for sure.

But you're talking about radio waves, and we're going to explain kind of about what radio astronomy is and all that.

In fact, we can go ahead and do that right now.

Because in 1932, there was an engineer at Bell Labs named Carl Jansky who noticed some static interfering with some communications going across the pond, as they say.

got together with an astronomer over coffee, and they said, you know what?

I don't think this is interference coming from here on Earth.

I think it's coming from out in the Milky Way galaxy.

And this was a big deal in 1932.
