On the 3rd of June, I was on the 40 MHz band listening for the new EI1CAH beacon in the west of Ireland when I noticed some very distinctive static crashes. When I checked the rainfall radar map, sure enough there were
plenty of lightning strikes just over 100kms from my location.
I was surprised just how strong they were considering they were so far away. It's worth getting to know that these sound like as they give you plenty of time to unplug your antennas before the lightning reaches your location.
