In order to register a stroke, both H-field antennas must sense it above the thresholds.
I see many signals here --that are obviously lightning-- that are not registered as a stroke for that reason. Only red, or only green, (and not both) pick it up the signal.
And it does not matter what any third H antenna (mine is a loop parallel with the earth) OR what the E-field antenna receives.
BOTH H-field antennas must sense it! Otherwise, it will only be a signal, and not a stroke. Some of the most successful stations in region 3 only have two H-field antennas.
(Note that stations with one H and one E antenna all have negative efficiencies! And there are many of them.)
