Building the LOFAR stations CS1, CS8 and CS16

Submitter: Arie Huijgen
Description: The LOFAR stations CS1, CS8 and CS16 will house during this autumn only 16 LBA antennas that can be easily repositioned because the antenna cables will not be digged into the ground. The stations will be used for tests with different baselines.
In a later phase these stations will be converted into "final" LOFAR stations at a fixed location and with all antennas.
