The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) is a hierarchical collection of thousands of dipole antennas which make it the most sensitive radio interferometer operating at low-frequencies ($10-240$ MHz). His main goal is low-frequency radio astronomy. LOFAR antennas are grouped into stations (aperture arrays capable of multi-beam forming) each about the size of a football field.

In January-February 2016, we have installed a compact magnetic antenna augmented with data processing equipment at the Belgian Princess Elisabeth station (71°57’S - 23°20’E; 1380 m altitude; L$\sim$5.5R$_{E}$). This VLF antenna is composed of two search coils in a waterproof plastic box, inside a wooden thermal insulated box, fixed on the top of a wooden table. This antenna records VLF (Very...
