Talk:Lightning Sferics

This isn't an actual signal, why is it there? Crossband (talk) 00:17, 27 March 2016 (NZDT)

Its part of a group of potentially interfering emissions we're looking to collate into a list that includes things like RFRadio Frequency bursts from lightening or noise from equipment such as USBUpper Side Band Modulation (Radio, referring to reception and modulation mode)Universal Serial Bus (Computer, referring to USB Ports and cables) bus clocks and equipment. Its not a 'signal' that's transmitted by any particular thing necessarily (those would be jammers, which we could, I suppose, add to the list).

If you're referring to it being placed in the category, this is purely a back-end technical reason. I haven't been bothered to adjust it because there's currently only two of these entries in the database, so if we get more I'll see about altering it. Currently all non-unidentified signals are defaulted to the 'Signal' category so it will take some redesigning of how signal categories are defined to fix this. --Cartoonman (talk) 03:58, 27 March 2016 (NZDT)
