A little something from the nightshift - Duffy - 05-26-2015
Hi all
As some already know, I've been experimenting with new equipment in a quest to detect precursor Earthquake signals. Unfortunately, the results thus far have not been encouraging, however, the current system is capable of 24 hour monitoring and from early March when it came on line to the present, I have been familiarising myself with overnight reception.
Last night, I recorded signal disruption that was out of character with normal trace tracking, I have seen this twice before in the past few weeks, and in both cases, an M6+ quake has occurred within 24 hours.
This is nothing accredited to my work, it's purely observational, and the only thing being tested here is the old saying of "third time lucky".
Confidence is low on this, and is more hunch than skill.
All though the new system is an ongoing experiment, I think I've mostly persevered with it to justify resent expenditure. I'm continuing with this until the end of June, and if no significant results are achieved, I'll revert back to the original system and hopefully get back in the game so that Roger's file on me doesn't accumulate to much dust
.|Late for work now, hope this was worth it !!!.
Duffy,

Duffy,
They had a 4.4 just offshore northern California 36 minutes ago. Slightly SW of Eureka.

Hi Kathy,
I appreciate the info, but I live in the UK so this is unlikely to be the source, in fact the only thing I've picked up from California lately is the orange juice in my refrigerator.
I try to track quakes down via radio, so at this range it would have to be a 6 or above, unless a low mag occurred on my door step, however, again I appreciate the input and if nothing occurs in the next 48 hours then it's another bad call.
Missed your intro so here's a quick blast from the past.
Spent 2 years on the local pool circuit in my youth, took Dad out once a week in his later years to play snooker and billiards ( found the latter a bit boring, but kept him happy), Met Steve Davis and Ray Reardon back in the day, and obtained an autograph and a drink from Alex Higgins but can't remember which was hardest to get
.A little something in common perhaps !!.
Duffy,

Duffy,
Update,
It appears a Mag 3 occurred in North Wales 100km from my home about 5 hours ago at 15:41 UT. As mentioned earlier, the system is new so I have insufficient data to determine a correlation at this time, also, my French counterpart doesn't monitor the stations affected in my recordings so I have no frame of reference for comparison. So as it stands, I think it's 50/50 between my Welsh neighbours and coincidence, but as the clock's still running, there's still time for something bigger to intervene.
