When the Columbia Southern Millimeter-Wave Telescope on Cerro Tololo, Chile, began operation in January 1983, one of the main goals was to make the first extensive out-of-plane survey of 2.6-mm CO emission in the Southern Milky Way. Because this telescope, a 1.2-meter Cassegrain, is a close copy of the Columbia telescope in New York – with nearly identical antenna, feed, and calibration – it will be very easy to join our northern and southern surveys to make the first homogeneous radio survey of the entire Galaxy. The Chile telescope does have one important improvement over the New York system: a liquid-nitrogen-cooled receiver with a single-sideband noise temperature of 385 K. Details of the telescope are given in Cohen (1983).
