Hi All,

Some people say I'm a perfectionist, but you know, I'm not really. I just like things to be orderly. Be it in the mind or one's surroundings, things should have an order. But sometimes having order is a problem when you have to rely on people you don't know to help you assemble order.

I wasn't going to make this post just yet, but I think this may be a perfect time to see how good this group is in regard to problem solving. So I'll tell you my problem and you can tell me if you have some possible solutions.

Starting in October and now going into November my ear tone group has been reporting ear tones for what I believe is the Mendocino Triple Junction centering around Petrolia. After four years of researching the ear tone experience I feel that I know this is not some random weird thing that ear tones arrive and there are no subsequent earthquakes.

So I contacted a friend who was able to confirm to me that what I suspicioned was true, that being the MTJ is having a slow earthquake event. This was done by using ELF signals. So with that I have two parts of a puzzle. To make a totally convincing proof positive statement about this phenomena it requires drum recorder seismograms, which are not available on the web.

There are some Canadian seismologists who discovered and proved this type of event happened along the Juan de Fuca fault between Vancouver Island and Western WA last year. So I had the thought that maybe I should ask them if they might review data for the MTJ and see what they find out and give them the time period.

The largest question I suppose is, are there drum recorders for that area? If so, who has them? Are people who are experts the only one's who can determine what a slow earthquake looks like when they see it? Or can a layman see it if they have an example, which is available?

It's all so murky. Being a hobbiest I guess makes this problems solution a little more difficult than it would be for someone who is a professional. I need to validate this experience because it is so unusual. Not only that regional slip occurs, but that people who hear ear tones can hear the process which ELF has already recorded.

Therefore, anyone that wishes to lend a hand here, please give me some ideas that are good one's and set me on the path of discovery.
