I ran that 2:32 PM (01/12/03 19:32:00 UTC) time through my location determination computer programs. It was a fairly good match for earthquakes 1, 2, and 3, and a moderately good match for earthquakes 4 and 5. That does not mean that there will be any seismic activity near one of those locations. In fact, I instead suspect that when evaluated along with some other recently detected signals that particular signal could be linked with seismic activity near the west coast of South America.

I was somewhat surprised that the signal was similar to several on my own warning signal list and also one on a list sent to me by Canie (her signal date Nov. 9, 2001).
