Hey guys,
First I heard of this initiative. The scope goes online today. Financed by Paul Allen and implemented by SETI and Berkeley.
It looks very impressive:
Dr. Blitz said the main advantage of the Allen array for regular radio astronomy was the ability to obtain images of large swaths of the sky, several times the size of the full moon, in a single pointing. At low frequencies, he said, the full array could map the entire sky in a day and night and do it again the next night.
