In such an airshower, successive interactions will create charged particles which in turn cause a specific electromagnetic signal. Measuring the development over time of such a signal will give a better insight in the energy content of the shower, and, in turn, allow for better resolution of the initial cosmic ray's properties. \\ - A difficulty for radio detectors is that, because of their extent, the stations need to communicate wirelessly. - But an accurate timing is needed to follow this signal. + A difficulty for radio detectors is that, because of their extent, the stations need to communicate wirelessly, + but an accurate timing is needed to follow this signal.

This might introduce a timing difference for GPS chips, decreasing the total timing accuracy attained by the detector. - - -%\end{abstract} \end{document}
