  System Red for Sale
Posted by: broms99 - 2025-02-08, 19:54 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (6)

I have a system red for sale (System 673)  it is located in Cornwall (UK) but when I built it and set it up originally it was based in Ballyhaunis Southern Ireland.  I have since lost the email address it was registed with and cant change the location.  It is complete and working and will include an external GPS module and 2*FRA 200/15 antenna.  Would rather post to UK but will send to the EU.  Open to sensible offers.  

Regards broms

  Interested in buying a detector and getting started
Posted by: benjaminrose1991 - 2025-01-12, 05:08 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Newbie here!

I've been interested in buying a detector and getting into lightning detection for a while now. I have a basic understanding of electronics and radio and I can do some ok solder jobs at a moment's notice.

I am located in Canberra, Australia and I would like to get two detectors online - one in a very northern suburb at my home and another in a more southern suburb with a family member.

Is there anyone here located in Australia or New Zealand who would be interested in selling a station?

I would also be interested in getting in touch with the owners of Canberra's two existing stations and gaining some knowledge and experience from them.

Many thanks!

  Something is gone wrong
Posted by: PetrosKa - 2024-12-29, 18:14 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (11)

Hello everyone and season greeting. Up to the 4th of December everything was running good for station 2916 since it was installed. I've done just about everything I know and what fund on the forum but the problem still stays. Good number on totals and valid but nothing on involved and used, manual mode. Thresholds around 110mv and noise around 45 to 48mv. My green station is running still good for over 10 years.
Regards
Petros

  Help understanding the maps
Posted by: ThunderDownUnder - 2024-12-23, 00:35 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Recently we had a strong storm front, mainly lightning with little rain. I grabbed a screenshot from lightningmaps.org for the last hour. A question has been raised on what the map actually shows, as to whether they are cloud to ground strikes, cloud to cloud, strikes or strokes.
I thought the grid total is for strikes, and strike locations may and often do include many strokes.
Appreciate any clarity we can get on this.
Thanks.

Posted by: charlotteabrams - 2024-11-26, 04:47 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (6)

Are there any hams on this sub who are involved with the lightning project "Blitzortung?"

I continually monitor BLITZORTUNG.ORG because lightning in Utah can pop up very strong and very quickly in the summer. My question is: are there any hams that are involved with this system to receive and report lightning strikes, anywhere in the world. Is the board difficult to populate, and does it require any surface mount components? What about the receiving antenna...I see a lot of variations and wonder which type has shown the best success. My QTH is only two miles west of the Wasatch Front...part of the Rocky Mountains. I'm at 4400 feet and the mountains go to about 7500 feet, so there is the possibility that I might not be able to "see" lightning to the east of me. Thanks for any advice or ideas.
