Hi Roger,

My earthquake database contains more than 40,000 earthquakes. They are at every possible longitude. And after evaluating the EM signal data my program could draw chart peaks anywhere it wishes. But as you can see from the data at my Web site, the peaks generally concentrate at certain longitudes for up to several months at a time. That would be physically impossible if the program were simply a random number generator.

It is my understanding that JOB bases his forecasts in part on statistical analyses of past earthquakes merged with tidal data. My programs do not use any statistical data like that or look at trends in past earthquakes. The sun, moon, and tide data are simply used as reference points with no preference given to any particular sun - moon configuration. However, I would like to add that type of statistical data to my programs if I had time as I believe that it could improve their accuracy and reliability.
