Richo gave you a hint in his post. "...think for yourself "
First of all, you're reinventing the wheel in a matter of speaking, letting an AI do what YOU should be doing in order to become competent in this hobby. You can't do that with thumbs on a smartphone. Put your thumbs etc on the components and build them, watch what happens or doesn't happen... or buy some ready built thingys and move on down whatever path you choose ... this is not about detecting a lightning bolt. An AM radio will do that.. so will a cow in a field. This is about locating them... of course, a cow is also a pretty good locator, but once he's done his job, he's beyond reporting. Like the cow, it is detected instantly, but location depended on a whole different set of parameters in the cow detected case. I'd suggest exploring more about lightning physics, how receivers work, TOA, TOGA, more esoteric systems, that kind of thing... etc ... rather than rely on a chatbot to tell me how to build hundreds of antenna types... and I wouldn't rely on a chatbot for honest, accurate summaries either... go read some REAL articles and papers... maybe use AI for REAL reference sources... and goodness knows there are enough bad ones.
Knowledge and competence, understanding, is NOT delivered in an Amazon box overnight... or in a chatbot response box, which just got off an hallucination episode and sudden logic loops caused by conflicting 'facts' from wikipedia and reddit etc...
Now that you have internal access, suggest do a thorough exploration, because much of what we do /have done is NOT on the public boards...
Here's a good place to start, outside of Blitzortung...
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?board=115.0
we went through it all, and wxforum was convenient, because at the time the concept was new in America, and we were all sort of in it at the same time... Europe was the main concentration at the time, most of the systems were GREEN, and we were bringing in the first REDS. and if you don't understand that sentence, all the more reason to 'backup' and do personal research... not let a bot do it.
note many images aren't visible because the external source is no longer online.
many of the contributors have moved on to the great thunderhead in the sky.
I think you'd have to be logged in to see some /any of any attached images.
This is NOT a plug and play hobby.
