What few signals it sends don't look like lightning to me, they are too sharp. The first cycle less than 20 uS, lightning is far slower, approaching 50 uS. I've also seen near identical signals on the E-Field, a distinctive big fast spike, a gentle wobble and fade away. I suspect local electrical switching, air con? It'll also sit for minutes doing nothing then send a burst of far more normall looking signals before pausing again. is the station in automatic or manual?
Right now it's on manual but noise adaptation is on. I was running it without adaptation for a while and it was getting more strokes...
There are air conditioners in the neighborhood for sure; This weekend I absolutely plan to add a shielded H-field cable and relocate the ferrites further out, and get the E-field higher up.
Meanwhile I'll keep rolling on trying new power supplies.
