The Lightning Detector System Blue is a universal receiver for electromagnetic waves in the VLF/LF frequency range between 3 kHz and 300 kHz. It has three input channels for H-field antennas and one input channel for an E-Field antenna.

Lightning strokes/strikes/flashes - what is the difference? A single "event" detected by radio frequency (RF) networks like Blitzortung.org is defined scientifically as a (lightning) stroke. Therefore we show the location of lightning strokes on our maps.

A lightning discharge emits radio frequency energy over a wide range of frequencies. When high currents occur in previously ionized channels during cloud-to-ground flashes, the most powerful emissions occur in the VLF range.

Lightning detectors are best placed in a distance between 50km to 300km around the lightning discharges. However, even if there is another station nearby, it is still interesting for the project to place a station beside the existing one.

This is an official Blitzortung.org App which shows lightning in real time. You can enable push alerts to get informed when lightning in your area ocurred. These alerts are extremly fast, they …
