I have made exhaustive and exhausting efforts to assist the population of the world understand and expect their earthquakes. My time windows are specific and so are locations and mags. Just because the forecast may not include lat/long doesn't mean that it isn't specific. It is merely not the format that investigators find easy to deal with. My forecasters are meant to inform the layman what will happen and without ANY funding whatsoever I'm doing all I can just posting geographic locations. I specify which particular fault and where on that fault whenever possible. It's not surprising that investigators have troubles with that, they aren't funded either so why would they spend lots of time to figure out the lats/longs either. It takes time and effort. On a fault map it all comes very clear. But who has a fault map on their person at all times like me? Yeah I'm an earthquake freak.
Some light in the tunnel though, I've almost convinced the canadian officials to fund me. Maybe they just want me to go away, but they DO know my prediction record and that's hard to refute. There really AREN't many forecasts being made on earthwaves, not surprising when it's impossible (sure) and if someone has time and faith, please attach lats and longs to my forecasts as I can't afford the pay computer time I already incur. All it would take is a fault map and a bit of time by someone with a free computer I'm dancing as fast as I can! A center point and radius from lat long would include a lot more wasted forecast area sq miles because fualts run in thin lines and it's like putting a quarter on a string-wasted area of coverage for that one inch of string. If you think that a forecaster is worth investing a bit of help on then you are contributing to making credibility of forecasting a reachable goal...mb
