None whatsoever. The Very Large Array COLLECTS radiation, in the form of radio waves. The array has to be Very Large, because the signals are so incredibly faint.
In fact, the energy of a single match, the kind you might use to light a campfire, is more than the energy collected in all the radio telescopes in the world in the last 100 years!

What does a microwave telescope allow you to see?
A microwave telescope allows you to see celestial objects and phenomena that emit microwave radiation, such as cosmic microwave background radiation, molecular clouds, and active galactic nuclei. By detecting and studying these microwave emissions, scientists can gain insights into the composition, temperature, and structure of these objects.
What were two major discoveries of the vla telescopes?
stars
How many dish antennas are combined in the VLA?
The Very Large Array (VLA) located in New Mexico consists of 27 dish antennas. These antennas work together to create a combined resolution equal to that of a single dish with a diameter of 36 kilometers.
What kind of telescope do you need to most easily see a neutron star?
To most easily observe a neutron star, a powerful telescope with capabilities for high-energy astrophysics is required, such as a radio telescope or an X-ray observatory. Neutron stars emit primarily in the X-ray and radio wavelengths, so instruments like the Chandra X-ray Observatory or the Very Large Array (VLA) for radio astronomy would be ideal. Optical telescopes are generally not effective for observing neutron stars directly due to their faintness in visible light.
How many sites does NRAO operate?
NRAO operates a few sites, including the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) across the United States, and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia.
What telescope detects radio waves?
Arecibo, VLA

Who operates the radio telescopes?
That would depend very much on which radio telescope you're talking about. The NRAO certainly operates several including the famous VLA.
How is the VLA similar to an optical telescope?
well,both telescopes let you look into the ground into the inner core and you see deep in he atmosphere which is space. Errr... The Very Large Array is an array of radio-telescopes, i.e. it detects radio emissions from stars and similar. An optical telescope as its name suggests, collects visible light. The similarity is that increasing the aperture increases the radiation-gathering power by a square-law. In an optical telescope this is achieved by a larger mirror (or lens but most large telescopes are reflecting.) The VLA uses a "synthetic aperture" to gain the advantages of increasing its gathering area without the cost and complexity of building a single, very large dish.
