I offer my help to the Blitzortung Forum members who find soldering is not for them, especially the tiny components; the boards below are:
Top Left – Blitzortung Controller with pre made daughter board plugged in
Top-Right – Amplifier which interfaces the antennas (not shown) to the controller
Bottom Left – E-Field Amplifier connects to controller
Bottom Right – E-Field Pre Amplifier connects to E-Field Amplifier
The owner of the boards (Julian – Bremen, Germany) had kindly put all the parts in uniquely identifiable bags which certainly saved me time usually spent in sorting out the components.
In total I spent about 9 hours building up the boards and installing the firmware in the daughter board, hopefully that will be another one on the Blitzortung network.
