Abstract

I report on my activities to analyse early LOFAR data, particularly on long baselines, with VLBI methods. This includes the detection of long baseline fringes, the analysis of technical issues, the behaviour of the ionosphere and first imaging attempts.

This is the original presentation. Proceedings contribution available here.
