John, I'm 'late' to this thread as well but I find it very interesting.
In the aviation arena, there are 'storm scopes' that use NDB (non-directional beacon) technology to establish the direction and spectral analysis technology to establish the distance (based on the assumption that the 'lightning strike' is an 'impulse' function and different levels of attenuation of the frequencies generated) to a 'static crash'. How does yours work?

I run one that's a PCI card with Windows software that generates a map and statistics that upload to my web page once per minute: http://www.febo.com/wx The system works surprisingly well, though when storms get close the azimuth and range both tend to become blurry.
