Now, if I have such an antenna as in photography, I should improve the description at 707.8
Can I leave 8 loops and reduce the sensitivity in the station settings. Or maybe it's better to reduce the loops to 4 turns. How does this affect the operation of the station? If I reduce the number of loops to 4, then I change the description of the antenna to 707.4?
Here is the link to my station https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortun...91&lang=en
please check the operation of my station
Your yellow loop is horizontal. Even though that is still shown in the official documentation, the algorithm for it was never developed and so you should instead place it vertically so that all your loops are all vertical and120° apart (as my station 1977 is).
Until you can do that, you should disable that yellow horizontal loop! It receives signals in a 360° circle.
Axrually, the "horizontal" loop on the ceiling will function quite well for Horizontally polarized impulses.. it's settings would be similar to the loops on HA and HB... unless you have a lot of horizontally polarized H noise, and it may NOT detect as many strokes as ethe others..depending of type of impulse etc... Yes, the system WILL process them, if enough stations detect them on C.. it won't display them as a special type, however... just a stroke.
You need to connect the horizontally polarized loop, whetehr Ferrite, wire, whatever, to H channel C input...
I've been running C as Horizontally polarized for some time now.
ou can then add Vertically Polarized (normal) to H A, and H B...lIf theyre Ferrites, the sticks lie horizontal, if wire, loops, mount vertical.
for horizontally polarized impulses, ferrite mounts Vertical, and wire mounts horizontal, always on channel H C
Make sure your station is configured correctly on your Operator's page'... Have you registered your station? If so, what's the number and location???
