This is correct accept that there are 3 DSN sites, Canberra, Madrid, and Ft. Irwin, California, each with a variety of different antennas. They're roughly spaced 120 degrees around the globe from each other so that full coverage of the sky is always maintained. Each has a 70m dish which I believe is the only antenna with enough gain to communicate with Voyager these days.
