Proposed station for northern Queensland, Australia |

In common with many others I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the System Blue units. I'd like to set up a station in northern Queensland, Australia. I have a fast stable Internet connection and have the technical ability to carry out any construction or installation as required. Whilst there are stations in southern Australia, northern Queensland is a data void area and a station here should increase the network's sensitivity to flashes in the south west Pacific/Australasian area.

Hello,
due to the growing number of stations all over the world I wondered how the corner points of "Europe" and "North America" - especially concerning the raw data provided - are defined.
Could it be that the coordinates are given by the maps (-> Real Time Maps --> Europe/ North America)?
best regards

accuracy of the network |

Hello,
Dealing with raw data I wondered how accurately the whole system (especially concerning Europe) is working.
When downloading raw data the coordinates are given with an accuracy of five or six decimal places. Calculating worst case scenario (a stroke being detected on the equator) the maximum deviation would be calculated as following:
5 decimal places: +- 55,5 m
6 decimal places: +- 5,5 cm
(The stroke was detected in a circle with +- x metres round the given position.)
I do not think the network is able to calculate positions of strokes with this accuracy, can it?
Secondly I wondered about the deviation parameter "mds" descibed as giving the maximum deviation in nanoseconds. Am I right this value refers to the stroke´s timestamp given at the beginning of each line? But in what way does this affect the position of the stroke?
(Could it be the radius of the circle is calculated by multiplying the deviation "mds" with c = 299 792 458 m/s?)
best regards
PothThom
