DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, researchers at the Jodrell Bank Obs
 ervatory discovered that cosmic ray air showers em
 it pulsed radio signals at MHz frequencies.  After
  a decade of very active research\, however\, acti
 vities in the field ceased completely.\n\nSince 20
 01\, radio detection of cosmic ray air showers has
  experianced an impressive renaissance.  The LOPES
  experiment in particular has pioneered a modern a
 pproach to cosmic ray detection using digital radi
 o-interferometry.  LOPES has confirmed that the ra
 dio emission is coherent\, is of dominantly geomag
 netic origin\, and has great potential for large s
 cale application complementing existing detection 
 techniques for ultra-high energy cosmic rays.  Thi
 s potential is currently being evaluated with the 
 Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA)\, which in it
 s final setup will consist of 160 antennas coverin
 g an area of 20 square kilometres.\n\nIn this talk
 \, I will review the revival of the radio detectio
 n technique\, describe its current status and open
  questions\, and discuss its future development.
