+===== General Information - Site Requirements =====
-At the moment, there are the following countries planning to add station to LOFAR or have them already funded:
+A document has been drafted detailing the site requirements, the placement and the layout of a LOFAR station on an LOFAR site in countries outside the Netherlands (stations in the Netherlands have a different layout). This document tries to address a lot of questions that we are frequently asked.
-  * Germany - Four stations funded (Effelsberg, Garching, Potsdam, Tautenburg); One more planned (Juelich)
-  * UK - One station funded (place TBD); Three more planned
-  * France - One station funded (Nancay); Super station planned
-  * Sweden - One station funded (Onsala)
-  * Poland - Three station planned (Torun, Krakow, Jelena Gora)
-  * Austria/Ukraine - One station planned
-  * Italy - One station planned
