Sending E-mail via The Custom
Summary
If you wish to utilize the Custom Summary window to send
an automatically generated e-mail, rather than the Email
Options Dialog, you will need to add a few lines to your
custom summary template file. Also, you must ensure that all
of the required information is entered into the Email Options
Dialog and that the “Enabled” check box in that dialog box is
not checked.
Here is an example of the lines that you can add to your
custom summary template file to control the sending of an e-
mail:

email rather than
; the criteria in the email dialog.

This bit of custom summary ensures that an e-mail will be
sent if there has been at least 1 strong (potentially nearby)
flash within the past 5 minutes and there is at least one storm
at least as close as the red alert distance and it has been at least
30 minutes since the last e-mail was sent.
Antenna Placement
One of the most common questions asked is that of proper
antenna placement.
