Hi Peter
Interested your mention of Jindalee.
I happened to be the one who organised and supervised the evaluation of the testing for the SKA site to show there was a low RF presence at the location. Something new as it had not been done before with the other sites that were competing for the SKA location (there was even talk of locating it in the Netherlands!).
Tests covered the frequency range of 70MHz to 2 GHz. Harmonics from the Jindalee system were detected so it must be running a bit of power!
Its a small world.

BTW all involved just happened to be Hams (CSIRO scientist, WA Govt (me) and the contractor carrying out the measurements) though ham radio never came up during the weeks we were on site.
