All of Africa's Radio Telescopes were spread out over South Africa so we had to assemble a crack team of planners and fielders to make sure we could cover all the telescopes we could find... This is the results of that endeavour:

KAT-7;

2.7Mil MU field established
Karoo area covered with a field and this claimed the Sutherland Observatory which houses the South African Large Telescope (SALT), the Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER), C-BASS South, KAT-7 Radio Telescope array and the MeerKat and SKA projects currently under construction.

Several overlapping fields covered the Durban University of Technology and thereby dosing the Indlebe Radio Telescope

Agent:
I must make a special mention that due to blocking links Durban could not join the other fields and Don Jolley made the best of his situation by covering the telescope with a layered field, your efforts are greatly appreciated ;-)

Special thanks to:
Uwe Siegert for clearing some pesky Green links between Bloemfontein and Beaufort West
Berndt Eggers for running the background database, intel and connections... Integral part of the organising +1
jaco van der Merwe and Eileen Nicholson for putting together a lovely care package for PE agents to make their own Level 8 Portal for stock and to reach Livingstone
Last but not least we need to thank Chris Minnaar for taking said precious cargo with him to Port Elizabeth... You were a life saver

Let the data cataloguing begin... The truth is out there
