Hello,
Could you please either have the website center on the user's location on startup (if a location is in the URL) or provide a one-click button to detect and center the user's position?
This would make the site much more useful

Hi all. I've loved using lightningmaps over the last five years or so, mainly in the UK. I'm now based in Sydney, Australia, and have noticed that lightning that I can see and hear myself just does not show on lightningmaps or blitzortung. There looks to be adequate receiver coverage.

There is plenty of lightning popping up on the map about 400km north (Port Macquarie). I don't know what the weather is actually like there right now though.

Anyone know what is going on?

Hallo zusammen,

mir ist heute aufgefallen, dass nur auf https://data.blitzortung.org/Data/Protected/Strikes_1/ aktuelle Blitzdaten für Europa liegen, auf https://data.blitzortung.org/Data/Protected/Strikes_18/ und https://data.blitzortung.org/Data/Protected/Strikes_19/ aber nicht. Dort sind die letzten Blitzdaten vom 20 Mai. Weiß jemand, was da los ist?

a System Blue, or Red.

Hi all!
Joined the forum back in 2016, but life got in the way, and also the last couple of years has been,... intresting. 
Anyhow, looking for a system to put at my countryplace in the Swedish woods, far from interference and static pollution.

Are there any new ones to buy or is someone selling their readybuilt system? Doesnt look like many stations in sweden if i read the map correctly.

Maybe any Swedish operators wanna chat at some point?

Let me know what you have

(Hopefully a new/seminew operator soon)

Why is their a delay when lightning shows up on 80 Mhz when detected by lightning detectors used at lower frequencies hosted online?

Stupid question because I think I know the answer but have forgotten it

I see lightning at Blitzortung.org but on RSP1a it shows up on 80 MHz 5 second later slope

Hi all,

A new and enthousiastic user with station 3050 here from Netherlands.
I've successfully installed  by system blue (PCB22.0) with a PCB23.1 H-field amplifier.
Antenna is a COAX 2-loop (1 meter diameter).

As far as i can tell the system is up and running and i am still tweaking the settings here and there.
However, from the station list it does not appear to have been using any of the data i have sent, even though quite a few thunderstorms have come close the past few days.
   
What is wrong with my setup? Do i need a different antenna (ferrite)?

Hello,
I just set up the Blitzortung lightning detector integration. I only want to be notified if the strikes are getting closer. Best way to go about doing that? 
Do you use the Azimuth sensor for anything?
Thanks in advance!

Since some days the lightning block is not showing maps any more - is this a problem of my configuration or does anyone encouter the same issue?

We had a spell of thunder in Central Scotland on 3rd May and the Real Time Lightning page indicated the strikes near me, which tied in well with the sounds. However they soon disappeared off the display, and even selecting the -24hr option did not bring them back, though I can still see the earlier ones to the east before they reached here.

I've noticed this before, strikes that were picked up in real time but then disappeared from the -1h -24h and archive pages.

Dear all,

we have a few PCB 22.0 and PCB22.1 test boards with which we tested the need for some components. It is a minimal version of a detector based on System Blue with only two amplifiers for magnetic antennas. Some SMD components were manually soldered onto these boards. It is a fully usable detector that is equivalent to System Blue in standard operation. This variant will be developed to offer a cheaper alternative entry option for participants.

The price for PCB 22.0 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 149 euros plus shipping. The price for PCB 22.1 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 199 euros plus shipping. PCB 22.2 will be available from mid-July with preamplifier PCB 23.1 for 249 euros.

Please write me a private message, if you are interested.
