Re: Radio Lightning Detector

Hi?
I have one of the Inspire kits that I ordered from the US ( into the UK ) approx 3 years ago. It took an afternoon to assemble and it seems to work very well.
Regards?

? Hello Andrew, I'm interested in the fact you say it works well as this seems to be my best chance yet!! they still have the option on the website to order internationally. where did you see that it says otherwise. may I also ask what sort of range are you getting distance wise from the lightning?
Thanks Gabriel?
NASA had project called INSPIRE which developed a receiver for picking up lightning. I have one of the receivers. Works well apart from terrible interference from power lines at 50 Hz!

Hello. Take a look at . I Googled "blitzortung receivers" and found lots of ideas there. When you start building I'm sure people on this group will have some stuff that is helpful at no cost.
Good luck Brian

Hello, so I am new to radio and am a student. I have a project to create a radio receiver that can detect lightning strikes. The idea sparked after my tutor mentioned how you could hear radio static on an old am radio when a strike happened. but now I
am quite stuck on how to achieve this. at first I though I would just use an old am radio but have found I may get far more effective results using a low frequency receiver. my main constraint is budget as mentioned I am a student so can be quite difficult
to work around that! I was just wondering if anyone may have some helpful advice on this topic, as seems like the right place to put it.
