Since month, on the user configuration page, there is an empty "last signal" picture, but the station works fine.
Is there a failure on transmission of my station?
nice x-mas & HNY, Peter
It 'used to be' that when I signed in to BO.org and went to the participants page, the website recalled my region and brought up just the relevant sites for North America that I was interested in.
Since there has been some tweaking of that web page, now I have to go through the additional steps of going to the box for Region, checking the drop down list for North America, and then the filter sorts and displays the sites I want to see.
It used to remember what region I wanted.
Is there some check box or option for me to set under the new page that will bring me back to North America automatically without the extra steps I have to do to set the filter? What was set up under the old page was great. The new page is also great but forgetful and while the extra steps are not that big of a deal, it seems desirable functionality has been lost.
Any tips or should I just keep doing this until the final new release comes along and hopefully Tobi will re-tweak it back to remembering the region again?
I'm interested in setting up a station in South Africa and wondered if there are any other potential users out there in South Africa looking to setup a station.
I am located in Pretoria at approximately -25.849041°, 28.228571° and am looking to hear from you !
seit 2 Tagen beobachte ich, das meine Station (1006) immer wieder bei lightningmaps.org als inaktiv gekennzeichnet ist. Ist sie aber nicht, denn sie sendet fleißig Daten und vor allem bin ich in der Statistik ganz oben
Station aktiv: nein

Nach 15 Minuten wiederholt sich das Spiel. Stimmt da irgendwas mit lightningmaps.org nicht ?
Auch hier sieht man, das wohl noch andere Stationen betroffen sind :
Aktive Stationen: 390 (1 ohne GPS-Signal)
Verfügbare Stationen: 593
Kann mir nicht denken, das nur die Hälfte der Stationen aktiv ist.
Just switched my new station on over the weekend. The ID is 1238. Status from the controller says "Normal", both amps (E + H) show noise levels and gain jumping around (automatic mode). However, the signals page shows nothing. All channels are checked "Display" but no traces appear. Do I need to do something to enable that?
The amplifier status for all input channels shows the trigger as disabled. Is that bad?
Also, on the controller's status page, in the section for remote configuration, my station ID (1238) is shown as a link but that link goes to a nearby station, not mine
I followed lightning evolution in Rome during last 2 hours: blitzortung map said 25-30 strokes/min fell.... but I didn't see a single ligthining or heard a single thunder.
How is it possible?!?
Would it be possible to have kits for those who live near power lines? Even though the devices would have to use some attenuation, if it could pick up the local strikes that are within 8 - 10 km, it would be still usable for the map. Also a sound pressure (microphone) could be used to calibrate the expanding sound circles.
I occasionally see lightning strikes in the Oceania region that only have 3 participants, and 2 of the participants are from Hawaii and Bangkok (myself), with a third participant from somewhere in Australia/NZ. At first I just discounted these as random associations, since if a strike had occurred in the region shown, then surely many other stations in Australia would have participated. But I've seen this happen a number of times, so has got me thinking. Is this a detection from the opposite side of the earth?
If only three stations participate, then I believe there are 2 possible location solutions. One solution is in between the 3 stations, and the other solution is on the opposite side of the earth. If 4 or more stations participate, then there should only be one location solution.
See attached for a recent example. This "apparent strike" has occurred quite close to the station in Australia, so the alternate solution wouldn't be exactly on the opposite of the earth but a bit to the south of that opposite point... which I can guess to be around the equator somewhere off the West coast of Africa. Checking out the WWLLN maps, there is indeed lightning activity in that area, at the time of the strike.
Is this alternate strike location a feasible explanation?
For more than two days http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/inde...=en&page=5 page displays the wrong data on the number of discharges detected by the stations. Values do not change, also did not change the number of signals. Date of last signal is still: 2014-10-24 8:40
Yesterday, my IP was 192.168.1.66 and that was the way the station was set up. Everything worked just fine.
Sometime during the night, the modem reset to 192.168.1.64. From everything I can tell, the station is transmitting and receiving but if I look for the station (1218) it no longer appears on the map.
Since it is so quiet at the moment, I can't tell if the server is seeing it or not.
