Between December 2023 and April 2024 we conducted a VLBI experiment with LOFAR, NenuFAR, KAIRA and several stations of the LWA to try transatlantic interferometry below 100MHz. Targets were Jupiter (at times of expected decametric bursts) and three bright pulsars. First goal is detecting fringes at all, which was not possible in a smaller experiment more than ten years ago. In the case of success, we can study the decametric emission from Jupiter at the finest scales. I will report on the progress, show preliminary results, and explain what can be done in the case of Jupiter, based on earlier European interferometry.
