I've had trouble with the house dimmer circuits messing up the lightning detector. Yesterday, I used a small AM radio to detect how far out the dimmers radiated. It turned out they didn't radiate past 20 feet or so into the yard.
I spent a large part of today outside in the spectacular cool spring weather digging a trench. This trench leads from the north corner of the house 30 feet or so into the yard. In this trench will be placed a one inch PVC conduit. I'll soon place a run of CAT5 cable in the conduit. One end of the cable will connect to my weather computer's lightning detector. The other end will connect to the lightning detector antenna. The antenna will be mounted on a 16 foot high, 4x4 post. At the top of the post will be a 12 compartment Purple Martin bird house.
