      On thye way to work today (1/18/94) I heard a report on my radio (WCBS AM)
that a HAM had predicted the LA quake on the weekend before it happened. They
said he had faxed the prediction to news organizations, however, since he had
made a prediction in the past that did not happen the news organizations (CBS?)
ignored the latest fax. They mentioned he had some sort of equipment he used
to help predict a quake.

     The significance that he (they said "he" not she) was a HAM was not
 reported. Perhaps it relates to radio energy that rocks generate under
 pressure (I think the Nova TV show reported that phenom).

     Does anyone have the full report, the fax prediction, or other details
on this? Sounds like it would make a good Quirks & Quarks (if he was Canadian
maybe ;-).
