Re: Worth noting...
It's always been like that with radio telescopes. I remember being shown a Manchester University network map 30+ years ago, one link on which was labelled "M6Net". Of course I asked what this was - it turned out to be a graduate student driving from Jodrell Bank to Manchester every Friday afternoon with a boot full of 1/2" magnetic tapes containing that week's observations.
Manchester in those days had one of the national supercomputing centres, in large part to process Jodrell Bank data.
