Nice thoughts. Just for your info though, it is probably the closest stations to a strike that won't record the matter because they would probably be in an interference mode unless you have a very reduced unit in detection capability, which would assist in the process locally, but unable to assist further afield when those local stations are in interference mode. The great thing about this system, whilst the local units are in interference mode due to a nearby storm, units further away will be filling the bill by accurately recording where strikes are occuring. I am up in Tamworth and can get bumped into interference mode sometimes with some intense storms in south east Queensland. All depends on how cranky mother nature is whacking down them lightning bolts ...... lol. But more stations are always welcome in out Australia / Oceania region

I'd love to get involved in this project for two reasons - one, I'm a volunteer firefighter and this data is very useful, and two, I run a very small wisp which also finds this data valuable AND have towers with internet connectivity all over the area (and we have elevation too!)
Our region in the middle area of SA (around Clare Valley) seems to have poor coverage on the maps :/
