Two AWDA VLF antennas have been installed on Belgium teritory.
The first Belgian AWDA VLF antenna has been installed in October 2010 in Humain, Belgium (Lat~50.11 N, Long~5.15 E). This VLF antenna is made of two perpendicular magnetic loops, oriented North-South and East-West and with an area of approximately 50 square meters each.
The second Belgian AWDA VLF antenna has been installed in January 2016 at the Belgian Antarctic station Princess Elisabeth (Lat~71.57 S, Long~23.20 E). This antenna is composed of two search coils, without a mast in order to withstand the weather at such latitudes.
