** That's pretty cool.

Jodrel Bank made the first observation of radio waves from distant space.
Then it tracked the first ever artificial satellite: " Sputnik 1".

When I was 5, my parents woke me at 2AM in October 1957 to watch it go overhead Shepparton in northern Victoria.
Only I thought it was called " spudnik " ...

DSS43 at Tidbinbilla is only fractionally smaller at 70 metres, the
Lovell telescope at Joderell Bank looks a lot bigger because of its

....which also radically limits the size of the equipment that can be
operated right out there at the focus, compared to DSS43.

Are you an old trackie? If so which station(s) did you work at? I did

**I was stationed at Ceduna for a few weeks as a trainee (OTC) back in
the 1970s. Not the same thing, but still a decent sized dish for
satellites. Helium cooled amplifiers, if I recall correctly. That was
not the best thing about Ceduna though. The best thing was West End
Bitter. There were little frozen bits of beer in the jug as it was
poured from the tap.

Not me, but I used to work with one from the 1980's on and met quite a
few others, and studied the 1969 tracking system in 2019 to give a
lecture on it - following on from my longstanding interest in radio
direction finding.

STADAN was an impressive bit of kit. Do you have any sweet stories to tell?
