VLF/ULF/Auroral instrumentationWaves at VLF range are studied in Oulu with the ground based instrumentation build by the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory (SGO). The measurements are typically carried out as big campaigns which include also other kind of instrumentation, notably the EISCAT radar and several kind of optical instruments. Both natural and man made (PLHR) waves are of interest.

Also figures about the antenna and the analysis system are available.
