There are many outstanding astrophysical problems which are best studied at meter wavelengths. However this part of the spectrum has not been fully exploited for astronomical observations for several reasons. Firstly, the arrays at cm wavelengths provide higher resolution. Secondly, the level of man-made radio interference is very high at the longer wavelengths in industrialised countries, although it is not so high in countries such as India. Finally, the phase variations caused by the ionospheric irregularities are quite severe at meter waves, particularly for a large array (~ λ/35 rad.km-1).
