A couple of questions:
1. What's the power source to the site? I guess all the cables are shielded.

Thanks Colin!
Currently some antennas are on the grid power from a diesel powerplant and some we were connecting to mobile generators. It will all be on the grid power very soon. All cabling is underground and I presume is well shielded.

No. They are fixed on the ground but can move in three axes - alt, az and rotational. The rotation is the first in the world. Other antenna designs rotate the receiver but rotating the whole dish eliminates diffraction from the support struts.
