  Can radar be disabled?
Posted by: CASkywarn - 2015-06-24, 19:20 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (1)

Seems that radar really slows down my lightningmaps display.
I recall in earlier months being able to toggle radar on and off, and kept it off.
Now I seem to be unable to find where to turn radar display off.
Any help?

Higher stroke value is not a higher percent value.
Yesterday ist was all OK!

Posted by: Rothuize - 2015-06-22, 20:42 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (32)

Hi to you all

 I wonder is it possible to shield the E-field
 
Because I see it  receive many noise   really   many  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have test it  
 
Test 60min
Test 1  only the shield ferrite 18:45 – 19:45   =    signals = 3052   M=48.2%  L=20.9%
 
Test 2  ferrite shield  + 90cm loop =  signals = 5670   M=20.7%  L=33.5%
 
Test 3 E-field ( 20cm ) signals = 32854   M=11.1%  L=9.1%   very high !!!!!!
 
Here below the graphic
You see the green line  this is ok   but the rest is to noisy
So is it possible to shield the E-field  ??
 
Greetings   Gert

  what is the best setup for BO??
Posted by: frode dahl - 2015-06-22, 19:40 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (12)

hello.


Just a quick question that might require a longer answer, but what is the "sweet spot" for Blitzortung?
Guess the stats are helping to tune for "ego" , but does the stats serve Blitzortung also?
@ what range from antenna do you get the best accurancy?
thinking more about what serves  the Blitzortung better, than my ego for getting most hits, or stats? -or are these "following the same path"?
Guess the answer will be different if a antenna is in a area with low coverage, and if there is high density of participants around, so i understand that the answer will be "depending on" Smile
For a triangulation perspective would not longer range give higher % accurancy than close range?
I know my signals are rubbish atm, but im working on that issue.. still what should i aim for to get my system RED to be best for BO?

  Just a word or two...
Posted by: cutty - 2015-06-20, 23:56 - Forum: General Discussion - No Replies

The Blitzortung development team has had an extremely chaotic first half of the year, with vocational related (job) demands, etc,... therefore, the release of system BLUE is a bit behind projections,  Please bear with us,  Egon has begun construction and evaluation of prototype 'amplifier" boards, with prototype preamps for H and E channels..... to be joined later with the controller, firmware, etc.  Again, 'life' interferes at times with 'hobby'..... and we have an excellent network, and committed operators.

For those who wish to join the BT network. and those who wish to add BLUE to an existing location, please remain patient... BLUE will fascinate and intrigue us....and the experience and data gathered from existing Green and Red stations should impress all, when BLUE is ready for release, in a few months. 

Thanks, and best wishes to all of you!  Please stay tuned, and monitor this forum, and other significant BT pages, for further updates and announcements!

  lightningmaps.org: strokes by station
Posted by: Steph - 2015-06-15, 09:45 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (5)

Hi,

Is the dynamic map option "show only strokes by station" and "stroke counter (stations)" gone forever? I found this quite useful.

Helllo everyone!

What´s wrong with lightningmaps.org? In the last days the statistics is full of gaps. Server overload? 


Currently the statistic is not up to date:
"Last update: 122.7 minutes ago"

Could anybody  please explain this?
