I’m a licensed operator and I’m not an electrical engineer, I got my license in order to operate a radio telescope when I was a physicist. Websites I build are more modern than this, and I do have one for ham radio resources. There’s your counterexample.

I am unfamiliar with how radio telescopes work, do you transmit as well as receive on them? If you transmit, I assume you send your callsign as well every 10 minutes? Do you run into issues staying below 1500W/200W PEP?

I was sending not very high powered pulse signals at the time and observing response signals. The signals were automated with gnuradio. Callsign was part of my automated sequence, sent periodically.

Now, most of the work done with radio telescopes are passive, but they are really just large dishes capable of receiving any radio signal, including ham stuff.
