One way to realize the Large radio Telescope with a collecting area approaching one square kilometer, continuously covering a frequency range between 200 MHz and 2 GHz, is to construct a passive spherical reflector array of about 30 individual unit telescopes, each ∼ 300 m diameter(Butcher 1995). Valleys amid the hills of southwest China would be ideal for such LT concept. We refer to this effort as the Kilometer-square Area Radio Synthesis Telescope project. Site surveying and Radio Interference monitoring looks promising. Engineering considerations are summarized.
