Default Question regarding Boltek Stormtracker locations

Hi - someone posted this link:

http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/live_storm_data.htm

which links to live data from an Isle-Of-White based lightning
detector. And jolly good it is too.

What I was wondering is: is there a directory of similar units in
different locations?

I'd like one a little closer to my location (Stafford).

Click on "Station Weather Data", "Boltek Storm Tracker - Lightning Data"


Out of interest, how does the accuracy drop off over range?


Quite considerably, I would think, as range would appear to be estimated
according to received energy, which falls off according to the inverse square
law.

Thanks.
