Station Moved Country and Showing Wrong on LightningMaps - Dave.Auld - 2026-02-13

Hello,

My station 1365 used to be located in Doha, Qatar, but I moved country a few years ago to Cyprus, and have resurrected the system and after giving the amp board a bit of TLC it appears to be working again on the test bench.

However, I have noticed that LightningMaps is continuing to show the station located in Qatar and not in its new location of Cyprus, Paphos, depending on which part of the site you are on.

I can't see any options to resync or force any update, so I assume that this will need to be done by admins.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave... yes, the LMO database can be sluggish.... I updated the link in your signature... Is this what you were referring to?

Oh... if you still control 1147, you desperately need to update the firmware... looks like it's way back 7.4 ... still running, but that's ancient....
