This project will measure the shape of the Cosmic Microwave                     Background Radiation (CMBR) at four frequencies, 1.5 GHz, 3.7 GHz,              10 GHz, and 90 GHz.  Deviations from a blackbody spectrum have                  been reported, which if confirmed would alter our view of how the               universe was formed.  The South Pole is the best site for this                  measurement due to the extremly cold, and therefore dry,                        atmosphere, and the ability of the instruments to view one portion              of the sky continuously through a constant thickness of the                     atmosphere.  It is also the quietest spot on earth for the radio                frequencies chosen.  The project will also make quantitative                    measurements of atmospheric noise that will be of great value for               future investigators.
