Extract

A proposal for the siting of additional 14 metre antennas for the Fleurs Synthesis Telescope (FST) was previously presented by Christiansen (1976). Since that time, difficulties have arisen which preclude the use of two of the locations. In addition, solutions to the problems of data reduction for irregular antenna spacings have been found (Frater and Skellern, 1978; Frater, 1978; Frater, 1979). It has now been possible to choose the locations of the final antennas to optimise the performance of the array within broader geographic constraints — subject now to the availability of sites on ‘friendly’ land.
