Heavily looped lightning |

I took this photo back in 2009. It did not strike the building, as it was some distance north.
This bolt is kind of interesting, as you can see multiple loops in the main bolt, and the smaller leaders. Is this because of the magnetic effects of the current flowing?

Madeira Island |

Hello all,
I saw that there aren't any stations yet in Madeira Island (Portugal). How many are necessary to get reasonable results for detections around the island? Is the island "big enough" for proper triangulation, as we are a bit far away from continental stations?
Best Regards,
Emanuel

Lightning maps lacking road data |

I used the http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en website for the first time this evening and it works very well.
I have one comment, though. When you zoom in, the Google Maps API doesn't display roads, only railroads. This makes interpretation in rural areas difficult, since towns are often spaced widely apart. Also here in the US we are used to seeing things against an overlay of road networks. If this can be fixed or enabled as an option, it would help a lot.
Thanks,
Tim

Hallo zusammen ..
Bei mir tritt komischerweise folgender Fehler auf ....
Es wird immer mal wieder angezeigt das NO Amp connectet ist ...
Komischerweise kommen aber im Signalmonitor nach wievor Daten.
Kann es da Probleme mit der Firmware 7.4 geben ?
Hardware ist bei mir Rev. 10.3 (PCB-Id 1)
Ich hab keine Idee wo ich momentan sonst suchen sollte.
Über jegliche Info dankbar
Gruss Steffen

Gain settings by software? |

Somehow I lost my thread about tweaking a new RED system. Those who might have read the tread will remember that someone asked why my screenshot did not show the gain settings on the live signals page
In the manual is written that you can choose between manual mode with gain settings on the amplifier or automatic mode with gain setting for each channel by software.
Maybe I'm overlooking something but where can the gain be set by software? As far as I understand automatic gain and treshold control from the Blitzorting servers is not available yet so they should not have any influence yet. Do I miss a TAB or page somewhere where I can adjust the gain?
By the way... it makes no difference is not showing gain setting on Live Signals page toggling between manual / automatic mode.
Regards,
Frank Veldhuijsen

Where is the appropriate place to email / post regarding errors I get when clicking links in the forum?
Basically, I get "You do not have permission to access this page....." among other things suggesting I haven't activated, etc. I have.
Thanks

what is the greatest accuracy possible with the system? |

Now that I know that the fixed circles shown when zoomed in the maximum amount on the real-time map indicates the range of error on a strike, I have been zooming in around North America to see how small those circles can be - to find the highest accuracy for strike location. The best accuracy I found was in the Gulf of Mexico where the circle radius is down to about 1/2 km. Though I found circles this small in other places in the CONUS, I haven't been able to find any smaller. Does that mean that this amount of error in strike location is the limit for the system?
Is there a limit on how many reporting stations are taken into account for calculating strike location? Watching the strikes in the Gulf of Mexico showed many (10 or more) reporting stations for a given strike. I ask about this because I wonder if there is a certain density of stations beyond which there is no improvement in the determination of strike location. Since the great majority of strike circles are far larger than .5 km in radius, there is obviously room for improvement right now (more stations would help).
