A history of radioastronomy in CSIRO – a personal view

Abstract

Over my 45 years practicing Radio Astronomy I have followed a track never far from then technology-science boundary, the interface between the measurement process and the use of the measured results to advance knowledge. And for the most part, that track has wandered about within CSIRO. I will present a history (not THE history) of radioastronomy in CSIRO based upon my experience, complete with personal bias and the distortions of faulty or failing memory.
