Blitzortung.org Sensors

tacoistas,

I enjoy looking at the lightning maps on the web from  	Blitzortung.org.

A bit of looking and I find there is a group in Europe that is behind 
the information display.  They have people all over the world that run 
lightning detectors and then relay they data to a central server.  That 
data is combined and the display we see is developed.

Perhaps more interesting is that anyone can build a kit and join the 
data effort.  The kit will run about 200 Euros or about $270 usd.  The 
kit looks well within the AMRAD people's skill level.  A link to the 
details is at:

We should have someone (or perhaps more) build up a kit and  join in 
their effort.  It looks like the group is down for a few weeks and then 
should be back in the kit side of things.

Any interest?
