Roger;

I have searched back to 1st Jan 2016, and the results of terminator contacts within 0.25 degrees of 72' 14' W - 45' 55' S are as follows;

Jan 2016 .......... SR, SR
Feb .................. SR
Mar .................. SR
Apr ................... SR, SS
May .................. 0
June ................. DN
July .................. SS
Aug .................. 0
Sept ................. 0
Oct ................... DK 
Nov .................. 0
Dec .................. 0

Jan 2017 ........... DK, SR, DK, SS, SR, SR, DN
Feb ................... SS, DN, SS
Mar ................... SS

Results indicate this is not a repetitive cycle related to time of year.  It is not related to the sun's lateral position because the co-ordinates are to far South.  And it shows no distinction between quiet and active regions.  If the hits were random, why would the odds favour Jan 2017 attaining the most contacts ?  could there be purpose in this, similar to a naturally occurring cross on a map say !

I made a small observation with the 5.9 West of Macquarie Island quake yesterday (9th March).  Co-ordinates 150' 13' E - 60' 09' S Macquarie Island Region and 72' 14' W - 45' 55' S Chile, share contact with the terminator thresholds on 6 days of the year. On 8th March, it was sunset in Macquarie Region and dawn in chile at 08:53 ut ... 27 hours later, the 5.9 occurred. I'm not suggesting a pattern with this, I am mealy pointing out a coincidence.
