My station 1365 used to be located in Doha, Qatar, but I moved country a few years ago to Cyprus, and have resurrected the system and after giving the amp board a bit of TLC it appears to be working again on the test bench.
However, I have noticed that LightningMaps is continuing to show the station located in Qatar and not in its new location of Cyprus, Paphos, depending on which part of the site you are on.
I can't see any options to resync or force any update, so I assume that this will need to be done by admins.
Hi All, Station 3115 wishing everyone is having a good day, just thought I would say hi while i wait for the Admin to approve my station, it's been a while in getting it functional but at last it's online. The antenna is 2 meter diameter coper pipe with transformers on a Mini blue system.
Hello,
My name is Krzysztof Maluha, and I run a small, non-commercial weather website as a voluntary and charitable project.
The website is created purely for public benefit and educational purposes — it is free to use, contains no paid access, and does not generate any profit. Its goal is to help people better understand weather conditions, especially severe weather and thunderstorms.
I am currently working on a storm and precipitation map, and I am looking for a reliable way to visualize real lightning activity. Unfortunately, I do not have the technical possibility to build and operate my own Blitzortung detector, and there are no other free and trustworthy sources of live lightning data available.
Therefore, I would like to kindly ask whether it would be possible to grant limited access to lightning data for this non-profit project, or to advise me on any acceptable way to use Blitzortung data in a public, educational context.
If helpful, the website is available here:

I fully respect Blitzortung’s rules and understand that data access is restricted. Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and for the incredible work you are doing.
Kind regards,
Krzysztof Maluha
I’m considering installing a new Blitzortung station in regional South Australia, a fair distance from the nearest currently active site. Before moving ahead, I’d like to ask whether there are specific spacing, terrain, or interference considerations I should be especially aware of to ensure the station meaningfully improves local detection quality rather than overlapping existing coverage.
I connected the 3224 receiver online a few days ago and everything was working perfectly until yesterday when it started having GPS problems.
I've tried configuring several speeds on the serial port and it's not working. My receiver is a Blue Basic PCB 22.x. Can anyone tell me what I can do? I'm thinking of buying another GPS antenna in case it's faulty, but I doubt it.
Hello everyone,
I will buy a functional GPS device for the Green system or exchange the Red system 3233 for a functional Green system. Thank you in advance for the offer.
Regards
