-below is an edited chat with Tõnu, who first draw my attention to blitzortung org lighting tracker, the project uses GPS location and timing coupled with radio antennas and NTP to detect faint lighting signals from up to 5000Km and calculate the location by triangulation. +below is an edited chat with Tõnu, who first draw my attention to blitzortung.org [[https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php|lighting tracker]], the project uses GPS location and timing coupled with radio antennas to detect faint lighting signals from up to 5000Km and calculate the location by triangulation. 
  
-end to be not wealthy and low tech. At least this is what I assume. 
  
-Over time I learned to improve my systems. One of my best stations you can see here  +[[https://map.blitzortung.org/statistic_0.php?station=2003&region=1|station=2003]] is our sister station in cypress, maintained by Tõnu\\ we are [[https://map.blitzortung.org/statistic_0.php?station=2075&region=1|station=2075]]\\

 +what you need to provide
 +  * a few Kb of stable internet
 +  * a GPS antenna (with view of sky).

-<blockquote>I do run dozens of trackers on my own and now hardware building of whole project came to me. Receivers were not available for years and now I have small batch on my table and can decide who gets them. We have nobody in Israel and in current situation probably nobody has time for it. When times improve, I see your receiver also can be improved. I gathered lot of know-how over the years and can help. One thing what I think you need is LTC1569 chips for filtering. If you provide your address, I can try to ship then for you. For free. Whenever you get time, solder them on board and put filter to 40kHz unless you can eliminate noise source around 45kHz which makes station half deaf. Most probably power supply or some air conditioner nearby antennas.+<blockquote>

 In this sense we are similar. Just doing what I can for community. I do not get paid etc. In this sense we are similar. Just doing what I can for community. I do not get paid etc.
