I was partly being satirical with my comment, it doesn't count for much here because you are pitting long established geological and seismological forecasts against radio. I can appreciate this, why put a cat among the pigeons if the pigeons are happy as they are. I don't debate which region I should select, or level of magnitude I should chose, I just get a spike on my screen. And if I can match the same spike in data from days or weeks past, then I go where the spike tells me !
Scientist here tell me an honest scientific approach is what counts most, so I'm not blind to the fact that the resent 5.9 off North Island 177' E .. is a probable response on the same fault line to activity on 173' E , therefore an aftershock (or from my point of view, a precursor). However, the professor I am dealing with here is only interested in high numbers on a spreadsheet before he'll place one foot into my observatory. If claiming this gives me another number, then that's what I must do ... it counts for me !
