Greetings all!

I have a quick question in calculating the length of the e-field antenna.. (in order to enter it into the station details section)..

I want to put a few loops at the end of the copper wire antenna.. would the antenna length be whatever the length of the wire rod was BEFORE twisting the loops (longer), or just the length AFTER creating the loops (shorter)..

My gut feeling is that the loops are still considered part of the antenna length, even though they aren't straight.

Thanks everyone

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:

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

Sometimes it is possible to check the accuracy og the system.

Hi

Just new to the forum. First, just to say thanks for a great site, been looking at strikes in real-time for years before going to the mountains.

My question : does anyone store historical lightening strike data? I'm interested in data for Switzerland for Saturday 8th August. A list of strikes, long-lat coordinates and timestamp would be awesome.

Thanks for your help !

Hi, 

I have here at my location am nice lightning cell,  only i get ones an hour a alert to my mail.

Hi,

Question, I’m no prof programmer so I hope somebody can help me with the next question.
I need an extra type of alert basically an kind of second SMS type in place of the current URL so you can choose 
email/SMS1/SMS2

I use the URL string not any more so I hope it’s possible to insert on some way an extra SMS-Gateway like this.

define('BO_SMS_GATEWAY_URL1', 'http://URL1');
define('BO_SMS_GATEWAY_URL2', 'http://URL2');
