Number of operational stations
24 Core Stations 9 Remote Stations 8 International Stations Angular Resolution (Operational baselines, July 2012) a) Within the NL: North-south= ~83 km, ie, resolution 10 arc sec at 60 MHz East-West = ~21 km, ie, resolution 40 arcsec at 60 MHz b) Including international baselines North-South: ~1292 km, ie, resolution 0.65 arcsec at 60 MHz, 0.2 arcsec at 240 MHz East West : ~ 1004 km, ie, resolution 0.79 arcsec at 60 MHz, 0.26 arcsec at 240 MHz
