The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope
http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/astrop/most/
MOST is operated by the School of Physics, University of Sydney, and consists of two cylindrical paraboloids, 778m x 12m, separated by 15m and aligned East-West. A line feed system of 7744 circular dipoles collects the signal and feeds 176 preamplifiers and 88 IF amplifiers. Includes student and research information, documents and contact details.
Owens Valley Radio Observatory
An array of radio telescopes, a solar interferometer, and other instruments are available to astronomers at this observatory, located near Big Pine, California.
ATNF - Australia Telescope National Facility
