(MKII, Jodrell Bank Mark II)
(38 m radio telescope in England)

Mark II (or MKII or Jodrell Bank Mark II) is a radio telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory (JBO), in north-west England that went into operation in 1964. The shape of the dish's circumference is elliptical, with a 38 m major axis and a 25 m minor axis. The telescope was used in early very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiments and is still used for such observations.
