Grote Reber Built a Radio Array in Tasmania Decades Before the Square Kilometre Array
Grote Reber and the 'Square Kilometre Array' Near Bothwell, Tasmania (2017)
A 2017 paper on the history of early low-frequency radio astronomy in Australia examines Grote Reber's work near Bothwell, Tasmania, in the 1960s and 1970s. Long before the Square Kilometre Array, Reber — a pioneer of radio astronomy — pursued low-frequency observations from this remote site, and the paper traces that overlooked chapter in the field's development.
