  3. VSOP-2 2012--

  4. ATCA Five of six antennas tied together for VLBI observations 8 GHz (since 1991), 22 GHz (since 2003) and 43 GHz (from 2007) bands SEFDs of ~430/n Jy at 8 GHz, ~530/n Jy at 22 GHz (n=no. of antennas) CABB will extend maximum bandwidth from 128 MHz to 2 GHz in 2008 Two 6 month semesters per year (Apr-Sep and Oct-Mar) C007 ATCA calibrators project ongoing

  5. February 2007

  6. Mopra 8 GHz (from 1991) and 22 GHz (from 1997) 43 GHz from 2008? Mm observing season runs from May to October Remote observing from Narrabri

  7. Mopra or CA06 as a tracking station antenna? The segmented design concept has been successfully demonstrated But Mopra only available for <6 months of the year, CA06 only potentially available in compact configurations Source of funds not identified

  8. ATNF Synthesis Imaging School

  9. Looking forward to 2012!
