  Station Moved Country and Showing Wrong on LightningMaps
Posted by: Dave.Auld - Yesterday, 07:37 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (2)

Hello,

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.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Dave

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.

Enjoy
Mike

  Request to use data
Posted by: Kmoorman - 2026-02-03, 13:17 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

Hi, my name is Kieron.

I'm in the process of adding lightning data to a weather site / app that I'm creating at  weathercastpro.com/

This is non-commercial, free to use. 

how do I request access to use the blitzortung lightning strike data on my radar feature?

I beleive I need credentials for non-commercial projects under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.

Thanks

Kieron

  Request for access to lightning data for a non-profit weather project
Posted by: KrzysztofMaluha - 2026-01-25, 21:34 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

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:
pogodynka eu
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

  Proposed New Blitzortung Station in Regional South Australia
Posted by: JohnCappello - 2026-01-13, 05:00 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

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.

Hi all,

I have just setup my new station #3242 and are having trouble linking my account to the forum.

Would I be able to get some help to link the accounts so that I can access the participant section of the forum.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

Question GPS problems with
Posted by: ea3gkp - 2025-12-25, 09:57 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Hello,

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.

Thank you
