Currently the LWA is not open for astronomical observations. News on the status of the instrument will be posted on the LWA Astronomer webpages.If you need to contact an LWA User Support staff, please email lwa@unm.edu.

The LWA is in the construction phase, with the first station being setup at the LWDA site next to the VLA site. This first station is named LWA1, and will consist of 256 dipoles. Operations of LWA1 will be limited to internal collaboration during the initial testing and commisioning phase. Thereafter, an invitation for proposals to the general community will be opened up, currently estimated for spring 2011.
