LOFAR HBA tiles are moved apart

Submitter: Arie Huijgen
Description: The HBA tiles on the LOFAR testfield have been adjacent to each other. Now they have been moved apart a little. The space between the tiles facilitates the fixation of the antennea, and maintenance.

The spiders in the distance are single HBA dipole pairs. These have been used for testing. Each HBA tile contains a 4x4 array of them.
