 The radome is a 27-foot composite sphere (Essco S27-83) on the roof of MIT building 54 containing an 18-foot circular radar dish on an SCR-584 alt-azimuth radar rotor. It is owned and operated by the MIT UHF Repeater Association W1XM but used for a variety of purposes including:
-  * Amateur radio

-  * Radio astronomy

 LMR-400 RF cables connect the non-rotating lower portion of the RF rotary coupler to the radio(s) in the climate-controlled rack. Additionally, Heliax RF cables have been run from the feedpoint to lower on the dish, with the intent that they can be used for RF power amplifiers on the rotating table/carousel.
-Fiber optic cables connect the software-defined radio in the rack to more powerful servers in the 19th floor server room.
