The next-generation radio telescopes will let us see the first stars and galaxies forming in the early Universe. Conceiving, designing and building these instruments will also stimulate technological innovation. Australia, a world leader in astronomy, has a relatively 'radio-quiet' environment - an outstanding natural advantage for radio astronomy. As a result, inland Australia is now being considered as a host site for three future projects: LOFAR (Low Frequency Array), the SKA (Square Kilometre Array), and a NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) facility. The first of these is LOFAR, which will be built within the next five years. Australia has recently been nominated the preferred site for LOFAR. The A$200m internationally-funded LOFAR project offers Australia: * The chance to host an international, high-visibility 'big science' project; * The chance to engage Australian industry in international projects at the leading edge of information and computing technologies; and * An increased likelihood of attracting the two-billion-dollar SKA project to Australia. LOFAR, a direct developmental step towards SKA, will consist of a 400km-wide array of 25,000 antennas covering the frequency range 20-240 MHz, and will pose a number of challenges in RF engineering, signal processing and transport, and ionospheric calibration. During WARS04 there will be a special session on LOFAR and papers are invited that will address all aspects of these challenges, especially in innovative ways. These may be information papers, but if you wish to contribute a refereed paper, then please advise me and I will arrange for an extended deadline for your paper. best wishes, Phil -- Dr Phil Wilkinson, Deputy Director IPS Radio and Space Services _______________________________________________________ Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources IPS Radio and Space Services Street Address: Level 6, 477 Pitt St., NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA Postal Address: P O Box 1386, Haymarket, NSW 1240, AUSTRALIA.

Second: the Leap Second. The message below commences with the URSI Secretariat's comments about the previous distribution of a questionnaire on the leap second, which many of you may not have seen, followed by the questionnaire. If you have feelings about leap seconds and timing in general, then please extract the questionnaire below and send your responses back to: Dr. Demetrios N. Matsakis matsakis.demetrios at usno.navy.mil Note the deadline: 1 January 2004 for responses. ----------------------------------------------------------------- URSI Secretariat Comments ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ladies and Gentlemen, About one month ago Dr. Demetrios N. Matsakis, Chair of the URSI Working Group on the Leap Second, sent the message below to you. Now it turns out that something may have gone wrong with that message... We hereby re-send it and hope that many of you will respond in the very near future... The ultimate deadline remains January 1, 2004. Please send your questionnaire or comments to Dr. Demetrios N. Matsakis . With best regards, Inge Heleu URSI HQ 20 November 2003 ********************************************************************* Dr. Matsakis message follows. ********************************************************************* Dear URSI Colleague, The URSI Secretariat has received a letter from the Special Rapporteur Group of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), whose charter is to study and make recommendations on the redefinition of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which differs from International Atomic Time (TAI) by the insertion of leap seconds to account for the variable rotation of the Earth. The letter invites URSI participation in their study, which has since been narrowed to consideration of whether the current practice of inserting leap seconds so as to keep |UT1-UTC| < .9 seconds should be replaced by a policy of inserting no leap seconds, so that UTC-TAI will remained at a fixed value indefinitely. This would affect systems that depend upon UT1 being close enough to UTC that the difference can be ignored or that the format for specifying the difference can have a fixed sized. An analysis of the motivation for a change was recent published in Metrologia, 2001, 38, pp. 509-529, a copy of which is attached. Previous to the formation of the ITU Special Rapporteur Group, an URSI Commission J Working Group was formed at the 1999 URSI General Assembly in Toronto, Canada and their report is attached. Subsequently, the 2002 URSI General Assembly in Maastricht, The Netherlands formed an URSI Working Group (WG) to study the effects of such a change upon systems relevant to URSI radioscientists, and to propose a response to the ITU. The resolution creating the WG is attached. The members of the WG are Demetrios Matsakis (chair), Wim Brouw, Sigfrido Leschiutta, and Inoue Makoto, and their contact information is also attached. An informal listserv on the technical, scientific, and political aspects of this matter can be accessed via http://rom.usno.navy.mil/archives/leapsecs.html, and a broader summary is being maintained by Markus Kuhn at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/time/leap/. Both of these sites provide an excellent summary, by Markus Kuhn, of discussions and presentations at an ITU-sponsored symposium on this subject, held in May 2003 at Torino, Italy. In order to fulfill our charter, we have composed a questionnaire that we would appreciate your assistance in distributing to all official members of your commission. This questionnaire will help us better understand their needs. While we do ask that the form of the questionnaire be followed, the responders should feel free to use as much space to answer the questions as required. Please send the completed questionnaire to Matsakis.Demetrios at usno.navy.mil by January 1, 2004. Sincerely, Dr. Demetrios Matsakis Chair, URSI Working Group on the Leap Second ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ Reply to this Questionnaire. ************************************************************************ Questionnaire on UTC Definition please respond to matsakis.demetrios at usno.navy.mil by January 1, 2004 1.

Please provide the approximate cost to your systems, and your systems' users, of incorporating the next leap second or any possible deletion of a second.

Has your system or its users ever applied the leap second incorrectly, and if so what percentage of the time? 5. Note that one current plan under consideration would halt new leap seconds after 2021. If it were decided to change the definition of UTC so that no leap seconds would be inserted after 2021, please provide the approximate costs to your systems, and your systems's users, of adjusting for such a change. If you feel the questions do not correctly parameterize your system or its users systems please indicate a better formulation. Please ignore inflation and assume exchange rates remain constant. a.

If so, please provide the associated costs in today's dollars, ignoring inflation. 7. Please use this space to make any comments or provide any information you feel appropriate. 8. It is possible that we would like to publicly identify your system(s) or your response as relevant to the decision.
