The goal of the Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER) experiment is detection of the power spectrum of the fluctuations of 21cm emission at high redshift (7-11) when the first stars were forming. The design of PAPER consists of broad-band dipoles, active balun, coaxial cable transmission, analog gain/filtering, digitization and correlation. Analysis of PAPER data requires RFI excision, iterative calibration and source removal, and full-hemisphere imaging. A 16-dipole engineering test array has been deployed at the NRAO Green Bank, WV site; a 4-dipole was deployed in Western Australia in 2007. See Parsons et al. arXiv:0904.2334 for a brief description of the status of the experiment in the middle of 2009. This poster will describe the first deployment of a PAPER experiment at the Karoo SKA development site in South Africa. Our work has been supported by the National Science Foundation; we thank the South African MeerKAT team for their generous contributions.
