The MOPRA radio telescope facility is located near Coonabarabran / Siding Spring Observatory / Warrumbungle National Park in NSW, Australia. It is 22 metres in diameter and is operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

 

A bit of interference "noise" from the scope is apparent.
