Computer Control of the JINDALEE Stage a HF Transmitting Station

Abstract

Between 1976 and 1978, the JINDALEE experimental over-the-horizon radar in Central Australia has had an HF radio transmitting station controlled by a PDP11/10 minicomputer, using a specially developed program written in the MACRO-11 assembly language. This paper shows how the design and maintenance of the program were influenced by the available facilities, and goes on to describe the computer control that was developed. A recommendation is made that computer installations at remote sites should be self-sufficient in programming aids.
