LR Strike Errors 180 degree

Opposite side of the world example.

(Look for this if you have unexplained strikes in an area.)


 

 

The naked ocean west of Australia at the time of this storm activity.

 This is a great example of the 180 degree strike problem that a two station triangulation has when it reaches the other side of the world.  There is no way to know which side of the world the strike belongs on at that point.   In the example here, take a globe and put your finger on each point and you will see they are on exact opposite sides of the globe.  These trouble spots bear watching if you have heavy storms in the mirror spot on the other side of the world.  Each station will have its own pairs of these as it depends on your Lat. and Lon location.   

If you can get a three station lock going it wont have this problem.
