We are moving our Dwingeloo Test Station for LOFAR2.0 for the next series of tests, as part of a big #LOFAR upgrade, which will enable it to collect even more data and increase its accuracy. @RTVDrenthe visited us to take a look themselves.

The upgrade of our #LOFAR telescope is featured in @SKAO's Contact magazine! We are currently working on a major upgrade towards LOFAR2.0, which will give us more data, more accuracy, and simultaneous usage of our LBA and HBA antennas.
