Is everything in this interesting article technically correct?

Quote:From the Palm Beach Post: "an unusual bolt of lightning up to 10 times stronger than a typical flash that was caught on video by Boynton Beach resident Erica Hite on Sunday. The so-called continuous current, or positive lighting, which was identified by the National Weather Service in Miami after seeing the video, hit outside Hite’s apartment when she was taking video to show her family how bad the weather was."

Всем привет.

Наткнулся случайно на этот проект, интересная идея и реализация.
Но никак не могу понять - как операторы и прочие пользователи используют собираемые данные?
По сайту и форуму разбросана куча грозных красных предупреждений о том, чего делать нельзя. Но что же делать можно (и нужно)? Просто рассматривать карту?

I'm somewhat confused on what a lot of the colours and letters mean on the controller since there's no guide for it.


In he gain menu, what does "Disable noise adaption" and "Disable auto amplif. filter" actually mean? What exactly do they do? What does HP on/off mean and what does it do?
On the signals page, what does L and LP mean? Why do the letters turn red? Why does the GPS time sometimes turn red?

I have a question.

I made three loop antennas for my blitz blue system.

these are three squares with a diameter of 1m 8 turns

how to fill in the data on the blitz station setup page in the input 0, input 1 and input 2 fields. Should I enter 1000,8 or the diameter will be different? Someone told me that with loop aerials it's about a circle and I have to give the diameter of a circle with the same area of my square area

On my lightning map the blue location marker wanders around and I cannot relocate it to my proper location.  Is there a way for me to fix this ?        SS

Did a Region 3 (Americas) 'audit' earlier today.. Below are stations 'inactive', or not reporting...some may have cleared by now...However, if you're listed, might check your controkller, whatever...  especially those "running"
but no signals...
If you've a malfunction, or need help, start a thread at 'internal/troublshootingl'.. not public.. at https://forum.blitzortung.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=39
If your station is permanently offline, please go to your operator's page, and 'delete' the station.. and drop me a PM if you would..  thanks..
If 'below' is temporary, or has been resolved, why not drop me a PM, and I'll update some of the Data on Sferics.Us as needed......thanks..

Yes, some report to multiple regions..

This list does NOT include stations inactive prior to December2018.  If your station is offline, dead, whatever, not listed, and you want it back online, you'll need to 'restart' your station, and possibly have to go into you operator';s [age and 'add it back' if it's not shown.
LIGHTNINGMAPS will likely NOT pick up the change to the BT Database, currently.

Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to join this forum. Thanks for allowing me in.

I apologize if this question has been already asked somewhere but I have not been able to locate it if so.
I am accessing the real-time lightning map both from my PC and from my Android cell phone.
On the PC, below the configuration menu that has Map Brightness, Day/Night, and Rain Radar, I can see these options.
On my cell phone they don't show up.

Am I doing something wrong or is that intentional? Just wondered if I could get these options to show up on the cell phone.
To browse the real-time map on my cell phone, I am using Google's built in Chrome app.

Thanks for any help you can offer and kind regards!
Jerry

Hi,

I wonder if you could share the area and projection type settings used to produce the archive maps? It'd help users locate a region more accurately. Personally the UK and Europe (Big) ones would be most useful initially.

Thanks for the website etc,

Best Wishes,
A

Hallo,
kann man sich nicht mehr in das interne Forum als Stationsbetreiber anmelden um z.B. die aktuelle Firmware für das System Blue herunterzuladen?
Ich kann mich zwar mit meinen Blitzortung-Anmeldedaten anmelden um z.B. Angaben zu meiner Station zu ändern, will ich aber in das interne Forum für Stationsbetreiber, lande ich als Gast im normalen Forum. Zugriff auf interne Daten wie z.B. aktuelle Firmware habe ich somit nicht. Wurde da was mit dem Forum geändert oder was ist da los?

Gruß
Jörg

Translated with Google translator:
Hello,
you can no longer log into the internal forum as a station operator for example. to download the latest firmware for the System Blue?
Although I can log in with my lightning location credentials for example to change information about my station, but I want in the internal forum for station operators, I end up as a guest in the normal forum. Access to internal data such as I do not have the latest firmware. Was there something changed with the forum or what's going on there?

greeting
Jörg

Hello,

I am new here and I have got to say I love this service. I work in an airport and I use this website to track storms and give customers information. I would really like to see an ad-free version and even willing to pay, but am I correct to assume this is not an option? Any way to go ad free?
