To Forum Membership,

I am very interested in Lightning Monitoring and desiring to find out where,cost(US dollars), and of the complete
kit so I can participate as a Monitoring Station. If someone could direct me to ordering a kit would be appreciated.

I have written my own software for my weather station and watch, track, and keep historical data for the area
I live in. It is a hobby of many I have being retired from engineering and just have fun with all my hobbies.

Thank you for any responses that would help me in my efforts.

hi

some days ago i was able to select the clouds as overlay in the "live overview".
this possibility is gone.
i don't have this button anymore.
it was a nice feature to see where are the strokes and where are the clouds.

  Locating Ratio >100%

For a considerable part of today, LightningMaps has been recording locating ratios for my station of more than 100%. A bug?

  GPS-Auswertung bei GREEN-Stationen
Posted by: DonAlarife - 2015-03-01, 12:53 - Forum: Non-English - No Replies

Guten Tag,

neben meiner RED-Station (Nr. 1025) betreibe ich noch meine alte GREEN-Station (Nr. 5) solange sie vom blitzortung.org-System unterstützt wird.

Meine Frage zur GREEN-Station:
Seit einiger Zeit beobachte ich, daß die GPS-Höhenangaben in der Stationsliste falsch sind, nicht nur bei mir, sondern auch bei vielen anderen GREEN-Staionen aus deren Standorthöhe man sofort erkennen kann, daß sie (meistens) zu niedrig angegeben wird.
Meine Stations-Höhen sind korrekt um die 180 m bis 190 m üNN (es variert ein wenig), angezeigt wird aber eine Höhe von konstant nur 3 m. Adäquat ist das auch bei vielen anderen GREEN-Stationen, deren wahre üNN-Höhe ich kenne, und die ich kontrolliert habe.
Auch in der Liste meiner "Database information" ist bei meiner GREEN-Station die gleiche falsche Höhenangabe und bei "GPS:" steht 1 (eins).
Bei meiner RED-Station steht in der "Database information" der korrekte GPS-üNN-Höhenwert +/-185 m und bei "GPS:" steht 0 (Null).
Daß die GPS-Maus defekt ist kann ich ausschließen, denn ich benutze die identische Maus für ein anderes System und habe die beiden Mäuse gegeneinader ausgetauscht. In dem anderen System funktionieren beide korrekt, bei meiner GREEN-Station wird für beide GPS-Mäuse der oben beschriebene Fehler ausgewiesen.

Woran kann das liegen? Ein mehrmaliger Reset des Controller-Boards und eine Kontrolle der Steckverbindung des Verbindungskabels zur GPS-Maus am pcb brachten keine Abhilfe.

Meine GREEN-Station liefert trotzdem korrekte Blitzdaten und kann mit den Ergebnissen meiner RED-Station jederzeit mithalten - manchmal ist sie sogar besser (mehr Blitze und eine höhere Prozentzahl in der Effectifity-Angabe).

Vielleicht haben Andere ähnliche Beobachtungen gemacht und konnten inzwischen eine Erklärung für diesen Mangel entwickeln. Für eine kurze Erläuterung bedanke ich mich im Voraus.

Es grüßt Euch

Bernd (DonAlarife) in Südspanien

  Station no longer contributing
Posted by: Geewizard - 2015-02-26, 15:16 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

I don't see any contribution from my station (1187) to the latest TS off the East coast of the US.

Station active: yes
Last update: 0.1 minutes ago
Last detected stroke: 2015-02-26 15:10:05 UTC
Strokes: 1
Signals: 58,922
Locating ratio: 0.0%
Stroke ratio: 0.0% (Map)
Strokes station min participants: 0 (0.0%)

Nearby stations (Alberta, Utah, Oregon) are being used but not mine. I don't understand why not.

I can see the strokes on the signal waveform plot. I've rebooted. Nothing's changed.

  RED Kit for sale
Posted by: Minoic - 2015-02-24, 19:30 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (7)

Hello all,
I decided to put my spare RED kit up for sale. I'm running a Green station 417 in Crete and ordered the RED kit last summer. I didn't find the time yet to build the kit and after the announcement about BLUE I guess that I can wait for few months and go to the next generation.

The kit is complete with 20cm loops, Amplifier PCB is 12 vers. 3c (8/2013) and Controller 10 ver. 4 (11/2013) as it gets delivered for Region 1 (Europe). I think that except the power supply everything fits any other region. I'll sell at cost, i.e. the amount that I was charged from Blitzortung plus the shipment fees to the buyer.

If interested please leave a message.

Thanks

George

Sorry I meant 20cm ferrites

  Fault reporting
Posted by: orion_jb2001 - 2015-02-20, 18:48 - Forum: General Discussion - No Replies

Hi,

Do the developers of this system want bug and fault reporting carried out?? For those who might not have enough time to monitor what is happening with the system, to be assisted by those who fairly quickly, notice a bug or failure, to be warned about this? It would appear that those who aren't a developer, don't think such reporting is relevant.
