But think of it this way.

It's really a rectangle, the NRQZ, 13,000 square miles across Virginia and West Virginia, and a little bit of Maryland, the southernmost tip on that western panhandle.

Just the tip.

Just the tip.

It's very mountainous.

It's got parts of the Allegheny, parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

but mainly the Appalachian Mountains.

And within that 13,000 square mile rectangle, you've got that West Virginia, the WVRAZ.

In the center of that, you've got a two mile zone that surrounds Green Bank, West Virginia.

And every time you go into a smaller circle within that rectangle,

it gets more and more restrictive as for what kind of radio noise that you can have.

Because in the middle of that zone, you've got the Green Bank Observatory, and they have even more restrictions right there in the center.

If you think about Wi-Fi there, you're fired.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah.
