A year of lightning

I've now had the Boltek StormTracker for just over a year. I thought I'd plot all 112,000 strikes it's detected to see if it shows anything interesting.
As you can see the antenna has a couple of "nulls" to the NE and SW. I'm not sure if the one to the NW is the antenna or a big Blue Gum tree in that direction.
There's also a circular "shadow" at about 120km which might be due to the way that ranging works in the software and/or the effect of closer mountains.
Hopefully, we'll get a lot of strikes inside that circle in the next year
