Observatory: Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA)

2124 m up, near Socorro, New Mexico, USA, is the the understatedly named Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array.

Twenty-seven 25 m receivers are arranged in a 21 km "Y"
The smallest angular resolution that can be reached is about 0.05 arcseconds at a wavelength of 7 mm.
The frequency coverage is 74 MHz to 50 GHz (400 to 0.7 cm).

I won't rave on about the VLA though, just check out the NRAO's excellent websites under 'Links' on this page.
