At the moment they are on one very large dish in Canberra Australia, with a data rate of 2.11 kb/sec.

Current link to Mars Odyssey from DSS 35 in Canberra is 14.22 kbps (roughly equivalent to a modem from 1991).

Currently Goldstone 14,24,25,26 and all the dishes in canberra are communicating with New Horizons.

You've got a job that's in Canberra smack in the middle of Australia.

Hi, There is a new group at meetup.com for people in Canberra Australia to get together to discuss Software/Web Technology/Startups and Hacker News related tom foolery.

I'll be moving to Canberra in January and I was a bit worried that there was very little of this sort of thing.

And Voyager 2, which doesn't have much to say, is still plugging away with a smaller Canberra antenna at 159 b/s, and a received power about that of New Horizons.

I was told a while back by someone closer to Canberra than me that there were legal requirements for responding to letters; email was a boon, because it wasn't subject to those requirements.

At Canberra, the only active dish is a small one, receiving data at 159 b/s from Voyager 2 (!).

Right now New Horizons is downloading at 2.11 kbs to Canberra, the max with both amplifiers transmitting with opposite circular polarizations.

There must be a pretty high incidence of geekery in Canberra, not surprising when you consider all the government departments requiring IT staff.
