Hello All.

Just had some lightning in the Diablo Range east of San Jose, CA, USA, reported on weatherbug but not on blitzortung.
There are a number of detectors in Oakland and San Ramon, and looking at their data it seems that they are detecting strikes, 
and at about the right distance, but none appeared on the maps even during the storm.

I checked the time horizon on the map to make sure that they should appear, and they were still anomalously absent.

Any idea of what's happening? 

I took some screenshots of both of those sites as documentation. I'll downsize them and post.

Geezer D

I will buy system blue, functional of course.  
Please make an offer.  I have been using this detector since 2017 without any problems.  This year the board went silent and did not start again.  

Thanks for the offers.

Hi
For a few days now, my red 2401 detector has not transmitted any data in the Europe 2, Europe 3 and Africa 1 Zones!!!! Only the Europe 1 zone is active! Can you tell me how to fix this problem. 
For information, my blue 2783 detector does not encounter this problem.
Thank you for your comeback

Station 2707 status: Bad GPS. I replaced the GPS antenna. There was overhead lightning, nearby strikes. The GPS section of the station web interface shows no 1PPS, no satellites. Before the storm, there were 5-6 satellites on the polar graph, position data, everything was working. If I need a new board, I will connect the grounding jack to earth ground.

Hello,

Please put Kosovo with its borders all over your website, as there are still people sharing your maps through various social networks, presenting it as part of Serbia, something that is terrible and unacceptable to us as citizens of Kosovo.

Once, Kosovo is an independent state since 2008.

Here are the links where Kosovo's state is not displayed at all:

Here the map of Kosovo is presented but not as it really is, more or less it is presented only to separate Kosovo from Serbia when I contacted you for the first time via email in 2016. - https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=10

Here the map of Kosovo is presented as it really is or as it should be. So, you should use this map to fix other maps. - https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php?map=14

Please consider my request as soon as possible!

All the best,

Is there any way to obtain historical data, or has there been a policy change regarding access to historical records for participants of the network? I noticed that the archive at http://data.blitzortung.org/Data/Protected/ currently only contains empty folders, even for dates from this year.

I'm explicitly interested in accessing historical data for research purposes. Specifically, we're looking into storm activity and would greatly benefit from having access to data from the following dates in 2022: June 24, August 26, and September 9.


Thanks very much in advance to everyone, who could help to resolve that issue.

At the left side of the Blitzortung screen is a "delay" display, usually updating very quickly with values of a few seconds.  What is being displayed here and what purpose does it serve? Thanks.  Peter

When I click a particular event on a map I get this:

Hi, I am looking for a Blue or Red System to buy. Thanks!

Hello everyone!


Station #1384 owner here (version RED), and active participant for gosh.. five years or so?  Probably much longer, actually!


Anyway, I know I, like many others, are patiently and excitedly awaiting our turn for an opportunity to purchase a system "Blue" station.  I've personally been on the waiting list for at least two or three years I think, and am only about 1/2 way up the list so far.

I realize there's a limited number of kits to sell, and it takes time.


All that said..

Might it make sense to do some sort of "refresh" of the list, in order to remove any emails/folks who may no longer have any interest in buying one?  I'm sure there's got to be a number of people who simply have no further interest, yet are still taking-up a spot.

I don't know if that would actually speed things up or not, for those who DO want one, but at least it might not look quite so disheartening if one was only say, #1000 from the top, instead of #4800 LOL!

Also, just curious:  Does anyone know roughly how many of these kits are being made/shipped monthly, on average?  Are they even still shipping any?


Perhaps I missed the thread, but nothing really stood out so far as where things are at currently.

Anyway, I'm sure there's bigger fish to fry here, but I'm just keen (and have a really cool location to put one, if I get it... At the top of a lighthouse in a bay!)  The keeper still asks me from time to time if I'm still getting one, and I'm like "one of these days" lol!


Take care everyone!
Hal
