I have read and reread the documentation but the antenna connections are ambiguous.  Could someone please help me with some questions regarding the upcoming system blue.

1. Is it mandatory to have both e-field and h-field antennas? If not mandatory, is it advisable to have both?

2. I note system blue PCB 16.x has 3 sets of connectors for h-field antennas. Most frame/loop antennas I can find plans for only have two loops, so I assume one loop is connected to A-1 and A-2 and the other loop to B-1 and B-2. What are C-1 and C-2 for, another loop?  

3. In the case of a simple loop antenna, what are the GND terminals on PCB 16.x for? Are they left not connected?

4. In the case of a coax cable antenna I assume the central conductors are connected to A-1 and B-1 and the shielding to GND. Is this correct?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am an amateur photographer and I am interested to take lightning photos. :-)

I am alone here at Blitzortung.com or there are more people with the same interest ?

I start to use Blitzortung.com to help me find lightning in real time.

In my country there aren't so many storms, and I read that Catatumbo River, Venezuela is the beste place in the wrould to see lightning storms.

Any ideas about this ?  Some advices ? 

Many thanks in advance !

Hi All Blitzortunger's

Can you Blitzortunger's point me in the direction of drawings / designs / plans for "non Ferrite" antennas.
Loop's or wire, I need to build up physically strong (Wind Proof) antennas for a Blue system here in Falkland Islands.
I have built up all sorts of antennas for Amateur radio use over the years so construction is not too much of a
problem. I can get hold of various sections of alloy tube, wire, insulated / non insulated in various diameters.

hi
i want to establish station in IRAN country 
How can i get the system red's kits

hi,
i have some questions about the antena of the blue system.

1) as i remeber right i need the h-field amplifier with the ferrite antena and i need the e-field amplier. the e-field works with a normal wire antena right???

2) were can i place those antena corectly? the h-field in my room and the e-field somwhere outside? because i only have a terace and so i dont know if the e-field antena workes there. can i place it at the attic or somewhere at the roof?? is this enought?

thank you for the help




PS: sorry for the bad english

Notice, of course, the background is BLUE

Greetings all,

I'm very new to this Forum so here goes:
I'm heading for the Falkland Islands (VP8) very shortly. I don't think
there are many or any Blitzortung stations in Falklands nor that many
in South America. Hoping to obtain and set up a "Blue" station in VP8

South Atlantic is not the most dense area for lightning so may prove
interesting.

Hi All,

I live near Lisbon and there are 3 station near Lisbon, as I show you on my attached file.

A new Station (my home, marked with an arrow in attached file) make any sense ? Will improve lighting location accuracy. Or is not really importante ?

I would like to know your opinion.

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

Hi everybody


The blue kit works with only two ferrite antennas?
