The state-of-the art method for reconstructing Xmax with surface arrays of radio antennas consists out of a direct comparison of a library of simulated air showers to individual recorded events. By minimizing the difference between different radio observables obtained in each antenna compared to the simulated events, a reconstruction of both the primary energy and Xmax is obtained. In this work, this method is applied to data recorded with the three antennas of the prototype station, showing the potential for Xmax reconstruction in the frequency band of 80 to 300 MHz.
