Stationsymbol colors on the map? |

Hello
Just noticed "yellow" colored station symbols on the map. In the station list my station is marked as idle. Many stations in southern France are actually marked as idle . . . However If I look at my station status, it's is marked as normal? Can anyone explain this discrepancy? Additionally, I would suggest to add a legend for the different station symbol colors on the left side of the map. Red=interference, yellow=idling, green=operational, gray=offline.
Greetings from the Provence

Detect H field from magnet? |

Hello,
I would like to know if any of you have tried to see if variations in the H-field could be detected if you move a magnet in front of a ferrite antenna.
It would probably need to be moved/waved a bit fast because of the low pass filtering in the preamps to see anything.
The reason why I ask is because I want to see if I can make a system to detect magnets being brought into a fitting room.
Shoplifters use strong magnets to take of security labels. If you can detect their magnets, you can catch them in the act.
I already have a system that can detect a magnet at about 30cm, but I want to extend this to about 80-100cm.
The (leaked) pictures of the system blue preamp look a lot like what I had in mind to make, but in my case with low pass filtering and probably a lot of gain.
Milan.

Lightning not detected.. |

Greetings all!
Just a curiosity more than anything..
Last night we had quite a wicked little storm (along with others in the area) move through my community.. There was easily a few flashes every minute (or more) for about a half-hour at least. I know for sure there were storm cells besides the one over us, causing all sorts of lightning at the same time.
Curiously, not a single stroke was detected by ANY station, mine included (though it may have been too close).
I did observe that all the lightning appeared to be inter, and intra cloud and very little, if any cloud to ground.
I wonder if that makes any difference? I know that storms earlier in the day in my area were quite accurately picked-up, so it's not an issue of lack of coverage..
Ideas, thoughts? Makes me wonder if we are missing a lot more strikes than we realize...
Cheers
Hal

Using System Blue with Mac computers |

For the last 13 years, I have used exclusively Mac computers and don't intend to change back to Windows or Unix for the foreseeable future. If I purchase a System Blue to become a station in the Haut Var in France (Tourtour), which is a lightning hot spot, with my house being hit by lightning twice in 12 years, are there versions of the software to work with Mac computers? I would very much prefer not to install virtualisation software such as Parallels or Fusion + Windows or Boot Camp, given the problems this has caused in the past, when I installed Parallels then Fusion plus Windows 8 to try and run medical practice management software, only available in a Windows version. Boot Camp, Apple's own version of a Windows operation partition, caused different but as many problems, particularly with running daily back ups.
As a newbie to Lightning detection, any advice would be most welcome.

PS Is the final price of the System Blue kit announced yet?

Time lightning alert |

Hi,
At this moment i have the experience that the created alerts not come consistently.
I have made in the config.php the next settings:
Code: /*******************************************************************/
/*** Strike alerts ***/
//completely enable/disable
define('BO_ALERTS', true);
//maximum search period for strikes
define('BO_ALERT_MAX_SEARCH_PERIOD', 60);
//check every given minutes
define('BO_ALERT_CHECK_INTERVAL', 10);
//after sending an alert, miniumum time to wait for next alert (minutes)
define('BO_ALERT_SEND_INTERVAL', 10);
And in the alert itself i use an search time of 10min. but with this settings i receive sometime 1x an 1 1/2 hour an message.
But i have set the location to an active cell so i think with this settings i must receive it must more often then now.
Do I something wrong?

Registering new system question.. |

Good afternoon fellow "Blitzortunger's"!
I am in the process of commissioning a newly built system "Red" lightning detector, and have a question in regards to that.
I already have a user ID number and account. I have tried repeatedly to enter my 24 digit system ID hex number (without dashes) into the appropriate field. However, when I click "OK", the field simply clears, and the system remains unregistered.
Is there something I am missing here? I would think that is all that is involved. Perhaps new system registration has been temporarily suspended?
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to participating,
Cheers from Canada

Today, I spend some time to watch die Google map for BO.
There are some (active) stations far far away from other (>1000km) :
993 - Maui, Hawaii - United States / Hawaii
935 - Atalaya and 665 - Cúcuta - Colombia
1267 - Sint Eustatius - Netherlands Antilles
913 - Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana and 939 - Fundão - Brazil
1305 - Farm Tivoli - Namibia
1332 - Wolmanansstad
1352 - Pretoria - South Africa
987 - Armavir - Russian Federation
1365 - Doha - Qatar
1307 - Turar and 1357 - Almaty - Kazakhstan
1113 - Bangkok - Thailand
1303 - Hong Kong - China
844 - Rockingham - Australia
973 - Perth - Australia
966 - Darwin, Alawa and 915 - Darwin - Humpty Doo - Australia
The northernmost station is 184 - Inari, Ivalo - Finland, the southernmost is 1325 - Dunedin - New Zealand.
Whats' about the station in the Antarctic ?
Hope, I didn't forget one 
We need some stations in Alaska, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Russian Union, Japan ...
