Hi @amillssma!
Thanks for contributing to the list and making it more complete for everyone. I'm not a radio astronomer and I don't actually know how the "location of an array" is defined for arrays that consist of several different dishes.
All I can do it to check on google and see if there is actually a telescope at the location given: https://www.google.com/maps/@19.8248372,-155.4724211,537m/data=!3m1!1e3

It's definitely the right mountain, but I don't see a dish at that location in the middle of the screen. Again, that's probably OK, I just want to ask you to double-check one more time before I merge this that there are no typos in the coordinates! Can you just comment and let me know? Then I'm ready to merge this!

@hamogu there seems to be a typo in your lat/lon, or an inconsistency with Google coordinates – OpenStreetmap actually displays this centred right on the control building, with (some configurations of) the array actually visible to the NW.

Hi, thanks for checking that! You're right, that GPS must be in the control building, I didn't bother to check. The reference antenna would be a better lat/long, and I've been informed the elevation of the control building should be close enough. I'll make those changes. Thanks again!

Changed the latitude and longitude from the control building of the sma to the antenna pad used for the reference antenna in observations.
