Abstract

The Clark Lake Teepee Tee radio telescope is located near Borrego Springs, California and is owned by the University of Maryland. The telescope has been operating since 1981 in different stages of software and hardware development, and is used for both sidereal and solar studies. In the latter capacity its ultimate objective is to obtain two-dimensional images of the Sun at high time resolution (~ 10 msec) in real time. The telescope is continuously tunable between 15 and 125 MHz, but radio frequency interference does limit observations to a number of interference- free bands with detection bandwidths up to 3.0 MHz.
