Sounds like it would make a good Quirks & Quarks (if he was Canadian >maybe ;-). > Pete Costello I've read that Stanford had an Ultra-Low Freq receiver near San Fran when they got the shakes, and it registered large swings for 30-40 hours before the quake. The receiver was intended to examine changes in the geo-magnetic field, but picked up the piezo-electric radiations of the rock strata as they were under increasing stress. The output was swinging wildly, then went flat when the power went off. There's an amateur group that publishes a journal of this sort of thing, but I can't remeber their name. I'll dig out an issue when I get home. galen, KF0YJ
