Dear Jim, Hobart VLBIers, AuScope and Patriot people.
It is a fantastic achievement.
Congratulations from NZ!
We are looking forward to doing AuScope geodetic VLBI with all AuScope
antennas soon.
Kind regards,
Sergei

I’m very pleased to announce first interferometric fringes to the
AuScope telescope at Katherine (NT) and also between two AuScope
telescopes (Hobart and Katherine). The attached image shows the lag
spectrum in one of the observed bands on the Hobart to Katherine
baseline during an observation of the quasar PKS 1921-293. The data
were collected using DBBC samplers and Mark5 recorders and processed
using the DiFX software correlator.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to achieving this milestone:
our partners at Geoscience Australia, Curtin University and Charles
Darwin University, and colleagues at CSIRO and in the international
geodetic VLBI community. In particular however, I’d like to thank the
dedicated staff at UTAS who have worked very hard during the
construction and commissioning of the three AuScope VLBI observatories.
Regards,
Jim Lovell
