In order for scientists to study the faint signals of neutron stars and pulsars, the facility needs zero interference from Earth-based sources, a feat that has become more difficult in our modern wireless world. Power locks on cars, signals from passing airplanes, wireless modems, and more can throw off years of research data. The NRAO even tracked a source of interference to a broken wire in a doghouse heating pad ten miles away from the observatory.
