IGN YEBES 40m radio telescope • Owned and operated by the National Geographical Institute (IGN) – National Astronomical Observatory (OAN) • Currently member of the European VLBI Network (EVN) and International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS). Joining GMVA in 2011. • Receivers in 2-115 GHz bands (Q band under construction). • VLBI instrumentation (MK5B, DBBC, 1 Gbps fiber connection). • Frequency agile (change in few minutes) • More available at high frequencies.
