Radio astronomers worldwide are planning to construct a continental sized distributed radio telescope. Australia has submitted its bid to host this SKA. The decision where the telescope will be placed is expected in 2010. Wherever placed, the construction of the SKA presents some massive electronic engineering challenges for science and industry.
