Radio pulses from air showers were measured during the late 1960ies in the frequency range from 2 MHz to 520 MHz. Mainly due to difficulties with radio interference these measurements ceased in the late 1970ies. LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) is a new digital radio interferometer under development. Due to its fully digital nature it will be able to filter out interference and form beams even after a transient event like an air shower has been detected. To test this new technology and demonstrate its ability to measure air showers we are building a LOFAR Prototype Station (LOPES) for the frequency range of 40 to 80 MHz at the site of KASCADE-Grande in Karlsruhe/Germany. The 10 antennas of the first phase of LOPES are now set up and four are taking data in coincidence with KASCADE-Grande.
