Cover Story: The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low frequency radio interferometer designed and developed by an international consortium, and is a Precursor for the low frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Commencing science operations in 2013 after an extended development period, the MWA has performed observations in support of a very wide range of science objectives, has been upgraded multiple times, and has played a fundamental role in the development of the low frequency SKA. In this paper, I describe some personal reflections on the MWA’s activities and successes in these different dimensions, some of the key technical and strategic decision points, and my views on some of the approaches that have enabled these successes. I also offer some of the lessons I have perceived over my journey in the project. View this paper
