Good afternoon fellow "Blitzortunger's"!

I am in the process of commissioning a newly built system "Red" lightning detector, and have a question in regards to that.

I already have a user ID number and account.  I have tried repeatedly to enter my 24 digit system ID hex number (without dashes) into the appropriate field.  However, when I click "OK", the field simply clears, and the system remains unregistered.

Is there something I am missing here?  I would think that is all that is involved.  Perhaps new system registration has been temporarily suspended?

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to participating,

Cheers from Canada

Sometimes it is possible to check the accuracy og the system.

Hi

Just new to the forum. First, just to say thanks for a great site, been looking at strikes in real-time for years before going to the mountains.

My question : does anyone store historical lightening strike data? I'm interested in data for Switzerland for Saturday 8th August. A list of strikes, long-lat coordinates and timestamp would be awesome.

Thanks for your help !

Hi, 

I have here at my location am nice lightning cell,  only i get ones an hour a alert to my mail. 
While in the alert itself I have set the time to 10 min. 

What can be the issue?
While in the alert I have set a time of 10 minutes
While in the alert I have set a time of 10 minutes

Hi,

Question, I’m no prof programmer so I hope somebody can help me with the next question.
I need an extra type of alert basically an kind of second SMS type in place of the current URL so you can choose 
email/SMS1/SMS2

I use the URL string not any more so I hope it’s possible to insert on some way an extra SMS-Gateway like this.

define('BO_SMS_GATEWAY_URL1', 'http://URL1');
define('BO_SMS_GATEWAY_URL2', 'http://URL2');

Hi,

I would like to write an open source application for PC/Windows that will provide notification about the nearest lightning occurrences.
Please tell me from where and how can I access realtime data form blitzortung.org.

Thank you in advance,
Mariusz

Hi there,

I was wondering if there's any (additional) benefit from buying and running such hardware (except from better lightning localisation). I was thinking of a backling from the main-site blitzortung.org to my own website, where e.g. I could describe what we are doing here.

I was searching for an existing thread, but could not find. If there's one pls (re)move this entry.

Thanks and best regards,
