Abstract
A major requirement of modern radio astronomy is the attainment of the highest possible angular resolution. This high angular resolution should be matched by a high sensitivity and by spectral and polarization capabilities. Study and experience have shown that no form of telescope is more effective in this respect than the aperture synthesis type. The past few years have seen a growing realization amongst astronomers, both here and overseas, of the need for a new synthesis telescope able to observe the full southern sky. This realization has been stimulated by several factors:
