Hi, I am looking for a Blue or Red System to buy. Thanks!

Hello everyone!


Station #1384 owner here (version RED), and active participant for gosh.. five years or so?  Probably much longer, actually!


Anyway, I know I, like many others, are patiently and excitedly awaiting our turn for an opportunity to purchase a system "Blue" station.  I've personally been on the waiting list for at least two or three years I think, and am only about 1/2 way up the list so far.

I realize there's a limited number of kits to sell, and it takes time.


All that said..

Might it make sense to do some sort of "refresh" of the list, in order to remove any emails/folks who may no longer have any interest in buying one?  I'm sure there's got to be a number of people who simply have no further interest, yet are still taking-up a spot.

I don't know if that would actually speed things up or not, for those who DO want one, but at least it might not look quite so disheartening if one was only say, #1000 from the top, instead of #4800 LOL!

Also, just curious:  Does anyone know roughly how many of these kits are being made/shipped monthly, on average?  Are they even still shipping any?


Perhaps I missed the thread, but nothing really stood out so far as where things are at currently.

Anyway, I'm sure there's bigger fish to fry here, but I'm just keen (and have a really cool location to put one, if I get it... At the top of a lighthouse in a bay!)  The keeper still asks me from time to time if I'm still getting one, and I'm like "one of these days" lol!


Take care everyone!
Hal

Hi friends,

some weeks ago I started my system blue to participate again in the cummunity. But unfortunately, the system is not running correctly. I don´t got GPS sync and the error LED flashed some times (like inidication of a lightning). I changed the now the GPS mouse, but same result. Also the GPS LED remained dark. Maybe the VLF amplifier got an over-voltage??? No idea. I like to change the VLF amplifier now and like to know where to get? Or should I let check the PCB, maybe for a larger damage?

Thanks for your response!

Hi,
if you want to sell your system red, please send me a PM.

Sorry for such a noob question, but can anyone explain what the "S:" number is when looking at individual strokes data on lightningmaps.org visualisations?

There is a date and time stamp along with a number such as "S: 13/269"

What does that refer to? 

I've tried to find a definition somewhere, so hoping you fine folks can help.

edit 1: hmm, evidently when i click my "signature" link "2550" it brings up a third page that is different than the one i linked and the one that shows up if you manually put "2550" in the URL.
This may be me "bookmarking" the wrong link. If anyone else can verify that my system is working "ok" i'd be very appreciative. I'd hate to have wasted bandwidth and compute resources for two years!

edit 2: Somehow my station shows up twice, once as the link "station page" below shows, and once as the station in my signature. Respectively, 3030, 2550. Is this something that i messed up? in the network chart these two stations are 0 km apart. I know there's two other systems in my state, and those show up 3rd and 4th in the network chart.

per subject, my station page shows that i haven't had a stroke recorded since 2021-04-18 03:14:37 UTC.

If i look at the live map with station lines active, i see my station flickering occasionally, especially with closer storms. I've assumed this was a fluke of the lightningmaps site; it also doesn't report my firmware version (and IIRC never has!)

My station is always clicking, and other than a few "bad GPS" or network outages, it's been up in the intervening 2 years, clicking and sending data. the three "status" pages show "valid" stroke reporting nearly always, strokes measured between 1 and 3000km, and I'll link a static image of the activity page, which i still cannot read >.<

I'll answer any questions!

Hello.

We recently installed a Blitz system red in Chichijima, Japan. The system red that I installed is station 2985, but the graph of the impact distance in the URL is not displayed.

I installed systems blue (2476 and 2152) on the same island and these showed the impact distance.

Is this some kind of system bug?
Or am I not successfully targeting the lightning?

Thank you in advance for your response.

We operate a weather station in Döbeln, Saxony, Germany. This includes common meteorological readings, but lightning is still missing. We have some experience in electronics. So I guess we will be able to assemble the measuring kit.

Could we join your community?

Where can we order the neccessary equipment?

Apparently the latest version is the only thing listetd??  Older version funded this activity. The old one is not update the new ones. Now this fair action??.
