<H1>UK Low Frequency Array</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>BBC TV broadcast a report on the <STRONG>Low Frequency
Array</STRONG> (LOFAR-UK) radio telescope comprising <STRONG>96
antennas</STRONG> that has been installed at the Chilbolton
Observatory.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The project, which has included contributions from
scientists at universities in Portsmouth, Southampton and Oxford, will combine
the signals received from the antennas to make images of the sky, using a
"super-computer" based in the Netherlands. <STRONG>Eventually the system will
also receive data from 5,000 antennas located in Europe</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>There are two types of antenna, the Low Band
Antenna (LBA) operates between 10 and 90 MHz and the High Band Antenna (HBA)
between 110 and 250 MHz</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The YouTube description reads:</FONT></P>
