Reber, Grote (1911– ) radio astronomer; born in Wheaton, Ill. An amateur ham radio operator, he was so intrigued by reports of Karl Jansky's "cosmic static" that he built a parabolic dish, the first radio telescope, in his yard in Wheaton (1937). As the world's first radio astronomer, he published a radio map of the sky in 1944. He moved to Tasmania (1954) where he presided over a field of dipoles (antennas) 3,500 feet in diameter while continuing his private research. How to thank TFD for its existence?
