When do the new blue owners gain access to the rest of the forums?  I am reading the manuals and have some questions that maybe answered there about some general things such as antennas, etc.

Best,

The time zone/DST is incorrectly displayed on the Blitzortung mobile map, but the numeric time is correct.

The real clock time is currently 14:00 BST (British Summer Time), but the time display at the top of the map says 14:00 GMT. (Now would be 13:00 GMT.)

Hi Everyone, 

I live is Lisbon where there are 3 active antennas, but I saw that there are no antennas in Azores... in middle of Atlantic ocean!!!

I have a friend that live in Azores(Flores Island) My question :

Just one antenna in Azores is enough to localize lightnings or the minimum is 2 or more antennas ?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

I was looking all over the internet and could not find any graph or dataset containing for number of lightning per year for last few years/ decade.
I'm trying to figure out is there a correlation between changes of average world temperature and number of lightning.  Is it possible to get such data from you?
I assumed such data is readily available somewhere on the net but only thing I found is number of fatalities.

Does Blitzortung work with the Apple ipad mini 2 with 16gb

I was once again mesmerized by watching the lightning activity in the US, and jumped over to check on my controller status, something that I've not done in awhile which is testament to the robust nature of RED.

I noticed I have sent nearly a million packets, and while some were noise, it reminded me that the controller hasn't been rebooted in a long time.

Question:  Is there a right way to do this, that is are there advantages to rebooting regularly even if things are functioning well? 

Or does it make no difference to the controller or the software buffers etc to just let it run until my power goes out or another firmware update comes along?

Are both choices equally OK? 

I just wonder if there are tables or things internal to the function of the controller that should be reset more often.
Thanks.
Dale
