Hi,

I have a Blitzortung System Blue 19.5 Board already assembled for sale. System has only been used 6 months and is working fine. Included in metal housing and includes the unit, power supply, GPS, both E-Field and H-field Antennas (2 ferrite Roads and both antenna mounting blocks).

Ready to hook up immediately and use. (Does not include coax for mounting due to cable being 100'; will include with costs for shipping).

Perfect for someone not willing to order the parts which is a problem due to being shipped from Germany and then assembling and having to purchase power supply, GPS and Antenna Cables.

Have put at least $800 in everything included plus time assembling,ect.   Asking $675 USD.

Please PM me if interested

Cheers,

Tom M .

Hi all!
I go offline 2,9,2020 but i comeback 24,9,2020

Hi,
I just signed up to the forum and it asks a question referencing the "cover your area page" https://www.blitzortung.org/en/cover_your_area.php

problem is, at least one of the questions quotes a sentence from that page, and there's no such sentence. it's the one about xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

fortunately I was able to get the forum to ask me a different question and complete the registration.

thanks
Paul

Greetings from KX4TD!

I just setup Raspberry Pi 3+ using NOOBS SD. My browser is Chromium (as supplied by NOOBS and updated).

https://map.blitzortung.org/?y#10/34.8101/-83.8771 map is inverted (see attachment).    

https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_ligh...php?map=32 map is OK.

Hi,

We have a significant storm overhead in the Shetland islands at the moment.  there are many strikes shown on the fixed size  map which correlates with our local experience.  However there is hardly anything showing on the dynamic size map ! I think there is a problem !

HI all,

Just had an 8.25kW solar system installed reasnonably close to my detector.  Whilst I don't think there is any interference being created by the solar panels, is there anything to watch out for or to do to prevent any interference.

regards, 

Jeff

First off, I want to express how impressed I am with this effort. The work here is amazing, and I cannot accurately  express how impressed I am. As an Electrical Engineer of 30+ years, I see the greatness of this projects contributors , spanning many disciplines of  RF, Digital, PCB, Embedded, Mathematics, and web-development. What an amazing team effort. What an amazing team! I want to be on it. 

 To that point, I really, really, really, really want to contribute. I am on the list to become a station, but the list is long, and I am number 6352 on the list. I assume it will be a very, very long time before I see my kit. So, I humbly ask, would it be OK, and would anyone be interested in a  2nd-tier EXPERIMENTAL effort (asking for / with the full blessings of the original developers) ? Perhaps with lower cost, simpler hardware? Not as "good" but ubiquitous and fun for the "rest of us" ?

   My field of expertise is in RF/ FPGA /Embedded design.  I would --love-- to build a "simpler" station,  perhaps with a much shorter range (as there seems to be no end of people who wish to have a station, so range does not seem to be that important) and with perhaps much tighter timing accuracy? 

   Spit balling here, us an FPGA /  GPS 1PPS to time tag "events" from a voltage-mode threshold detector (i.e. less sensitive, but more timing accurate than an ADC)   to report back to an experimental server?  Keep the hardware CHEAP and SIMPLE, perhaps make it a Pi-Zero hat?   As for the FPGA / PCB design, I can handle that, and I can even build a medium volume of prototypes, (which I will fund / sell at $0 profit / cost) as I have pick and place machinery at my disposal (I am blessed to own a small scientific manufacturing company)

   What I am proposing here is and effort "for the rest of us" -- I am in NO WAY trying  to offend the original contributors of this magnificent system. In fact, I really want, and need,  their help and their blessing. If the project data becomes useful, maybe they could even integrate the data collection into their "production" system,


   Again, I come to this effort hat-in-hand, with the best intentions. 


    Thank you,

    ---Lou

I've got a System Blue, completed/all put together that I want to sell.
I've got another one and the 2nd location where this was is no longer available to me, so I've got an extra system blue to sell to someone who can put it to use.

Please see listing on eBay

I'm asking for $600 USD because I had originally purchased it on eBay for that price.

Hi.

  I  am an Electrical Engineer that has been building TDOA
systems for about the last 20 years. I have always wanted
to build a  lightning geo location system, but it looks like
I have been beaten to the punch.

   My question is, where can I buy the parts for this setup ?
Is there a kit available? I cant seem to find a GIT hub for the
software / boards etc..

   I have pick and place machinery available to me, so if there
is interest in a group build, I would be happy to help.

   Thanks!!

Hello lightning enthusiasts! I'm a journalism student in MIT's Graduate Program for Science Writing, and I'm doing preliminary research to find cool science to write about while I'm in this program. I think Blitzortung and lightningmaps.org are really neat, and I'm wondering if anyone would like to give me some background info on these projects. How did they get started? What motivates members to participate? I read here that Blitzortung was used to pinpoint the origin of a forest fire in Australia. How else have the data been used?

Thank you everyone!
