I went there from '78 to '80.
(Man, that was a loonnngggg time ago.)
Yep, Socorro NM, 50 miles from water, and half a mile from hell as we used to say! ;-)
Did you ever take the tour of the VLA?
I did, and it was pretty cool.
Remembering back on it, and thinking about all those banks of computers, (the size of refrigerators!), that used tape spools, is now pretty funny.
