I mostly do scifi themes - contact with others would likely be through the deep space antenna network or SETI, which often makes use of radio telescopes. The classic looking ones are from the 60s and are basically huge steerable dishes. Like this

There is a 70m dsh free from NASA.:https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/jpl-vtad-dsn70 It is in Blender format but that can be converted to obj for import into DAZ Studio.
A freebie for Bryce: http://www.sharecg.com/v/5894/gallery/5/3D-Model/S.E.T.I.-Radio-Telescope
And there are these at DAZ which could be used to make a radio telescope farm: https://www.daz3d.com/radio-astronomy-telescope
Thanks! The NASA model is just the ticket!
