Hello all,
First of all I'm a newbe, a non-scientist nor an accademic of any kind so forgive me if my dialog is a little basic. I'm a semi-retired landscape contractor by trade but in my spare time I'm an amateur/backyard astronomer with visual and ccd observation as my main interest. A couple of years ago I decided to try radio astronomy and started by constructing a SID detector (Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance)for monitoring solar activity,this worked well for a while registering CME's,proton and electron storms and solar wind instabilities. Then two months into this project my monitor registered a large disturbance which I later linked serendipitously to a mag 8.1 Earthquake near the Solomon Islands (which occurred 17 hours after the SID recording). Since then I have registered 23 quakes in 2013 which at the time did'nt retain the data as I was'nt aware of any significance, and 15 quakes in 2014 with saved data. All but 3 Earthquakes occurred within 24 hours of received signal, had an average depth of 10km,and no aftershocks were picked up even if the magnitude was greater than the initial event.
I would appreciate any imput anyone may have as I've tried to research a VLF-Earthquake correlation online and not been able to establish weather this is a common occurrance or worthy of further investigation. I live in the North of England and would dearly love to know why China, Chile and Indonesia keep popping up on my screen.

Thanks, Duffy
