I have the two first, and use them frequently

I put together a second much longer video (55 minutes) explaining most aspects of controlling the system using the web interface. It is up on YouTube at:

You might want to watch this one in small chunks! I took the time to say what I felt needed saying...

Be sure to watch on a hi-def setting. It is in 1080p.

Best,

Don

I put together a 30-minute introductory video on the Blitzortung "Red" system hardware. It covers the basics of the controller, H-field amplifier and ferrite antennas.

Hello to everyone. I m trying to find a way to power the red controller with a poe solution. Is there any solution? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I wonder if it makes sense to build a station located on a vehicle?

Last year I have been on expedition on polar circle in Russia - near Barents Sea. Having such station could significantly increase accuracy for that region. Are GPS coordinates updated often via network, or station while being registered is pinned to place? This summer I plan to go to Ukraine for a trip, where coverage is better, but still poor.

What are your thougths on it?

Hello everyone,

A year ago i started using blitzortung lightning detection and it worked fine.
Now 2 days ago i started getting problems. The person who wrote the php. unfortunately passed away recently
and it seems i can't find anyone who can help me with this problem.

Here's what is wrong:
i can see the map but it doesn't show any lighning strikes anymore.
I've cleaned the websites cache, updated cronjob, but nothing seems to work.

Anybody with php knowledge that want's to help me?
Thank you everybody!

I think I might have broken one of my ferrite rod antennas when the H-field amp and antennas fell off the shelf.

I need a replacement but I cannot read German on the supplier's web site: http://www.friese-electronic.de/

Anyone know how I can get just one 200mm ferrite rod antenna as a replacement?

thanks!

Hi,
I have been comparing my signals from the lightningmaps.org site with other stations near by, however today I noticed that all the recording of the signals I did have are gone? Has anyone else experienced this issue and know if it can be rectified or whether my signals are now gone for good?
Thanks, Kerri
