Is the board difficult to populate, and does it require any surface mount components? What about the receiving antenna...I see a lot of variations and wonder which type has shown the best success. My QTH is only two miles west of the Wasatch Front...part of the Rocky Mountains. I'm at 4400 feet and the mountains go to about 7500 feet, so there is the possibility that I might not be able to "see" lightning to the east of me. Thanks for any advice or ideas. 73 de K7UV
Yes me Ok8LEO . I have the mini. I noticed a bit disturbance when I am transmitting with 100 Watts on LF, MF, HF and VHF . the loop antenna is 60 meter away but I will invest where the disturbance comes from . The mini works good and no soldering is needed. On the picture you can vind the antenna temporarily fixed on the balcony. In the wite tight box there is an extension lead for the connection of WIFi extender , UBS connector and the receiver. outside the there is another box with the amplifier. This way I can play around in the garden where there WIFI and grid connection. I am user 2444 and detector is 3179.
I hope this information helped abit to join the club
