New on Project

[zec]

Good Morning to All.
I'm writing near Verona Italy.
I'm very interested in this wonderful radar lightning project,
I don't speak French, sorry.
I'd like to build an antenna and a little power amplifier (If is it possible I'll buy it), and learning more 'bout this lightning project.
I would ask You were I can find some build informations, I'm very newbye on
this.
Thank You for Your Informations, and excuse me for my bad english.
Best Regards, Simone.

Hello zec,

Welcome with the LR project / Bienvenue au projet LR,

There is a diagram of a very simple amplifier on my site: http://marcodechaligny.free.fr/page_electronique/RadarFoudre01.htm#schemaElecLR

Or more powerful but more complicated at Daniel: http://users.edpnet.be/danielv37/Detecteur3/Antenna/Electronic_LR.pdf

Bye


Il y a un schéma d'un amplificateur très simple sur mon site :
Ou un plus performant mais plus compliqué chez Daniel :

Thank You my friend, I've just see these great schemes and saved on my pc.
I'm not an electronic, Is there nothing on the web on kit?
Where may I find an op-amp on kit?
Another question, I've see on Daniel site, that there's some interesting pdf documents,
STEP 5 - How to setup your antenna direction (tutorial)
and
STEP 6 - How to build a map (tutorial)
where i can find all the docs please?
Thank You in advance for helping me a very newbie on this.
I'll try to translate all the docs for the italian people who care lightning radar project, cheers for all the hard job.
Best Regards Simone.

Hi Zec
Welcome aboard.
You might want to look at Frank Kooiman's site

http://members.home.nl/fkooiman/lightning/

He can supply the power supply and op-amp circuit ready built for a resonable price. If you are not familar with building electronic circuits, Frank may be able to help.

Also you only need to make a simple antenna. a simple wooden frame with two loops is all that is needed.

If you want a strong outdoor antenna, then the one Daniel has on his site is great ( I have built one of these myself) but it will take a lot of time and effort to build this antenna.

When you have the hardware we can all offer plenty og help setting up the software.

Anyway hope this helps, it will be nice to have a station in Italy!

Cheers

John
