Earthquake expected in the next 39 hours. 5-6 on the scale and around the LA area.

There's a documentary called San Andreas in the movie theaters right now. How timely.

OK, everybody, here's an opportunity. Listen on the lower HF bands for signals from Southern California, and make note if you hear anything 'unusual' about the signal. I said 'signal' not content - everything from LA is unusual content-wise.

It's a very long story, but i believe that for some large quakes, there is a radio precursor. The most recent conjecture by scientists I've been in contact with is that pending quakes create gravity waves, which in turn, create ripples in the ionosphere. These result in Doppler shifts in signals being refracted by the ionosphere directly over the pending quake area. This has been reported many, many times. Indeed, the premise of the San Andreas movie is that they observe changes in the electomagnetic spectrum prior to the quakes...

That movie is as if that "Nose Throw Dumbass" guy predicted it, hundreds of thousands of years ago.

There may be a ULF (in the 0.01 to 10 Hz range) radio precursor to earthquakes but it's not been proven and is hotly debated among scientists. In any event, few of us have the equipment necessary to listen in to frequencies that low.

According to that website Tokyo and vicinity is at 98% chance for a quake as well...... we are supposedly at a 65% chance here on Vancouver Island.I will stop :rofl: if these "predictions" actually come true.....doubt it though.

I've worked with a few 10Hz transmitters in my day... :snicker:

So NOW I see this... being in Socal at the movie theater....watching a movie about...an earthquake...ohgodamigonnadie????

That's why I loved going to 2AM movies in Manhattan. Half of the theater cheers when NJ or NYC gets destroyed by aliens, you never know which half.

And now for something totally obtuse.......

Hey there Kev. How the hell ya doing? Glad to see you checking in.

Lol i was watching San Andreas in Ontario Mills movie theater which is about 60 miles east of LA. During all the LA destruction scenes,not a peep was heard in the theater. When SF get destroyed, the entire theater erupted in cheers! I was like WTF??
Lol

...earthquakes are, to a girl's guitar: They're just another good vibration...

If the big one hits, thank god there is the Maritime Net. :mrgreen:

13:13 local time. If the earthquake is gonna hit, this is the perfect moment.

Clear the frequency, clear the frequency. This is an official, FCC-designated, emergency frequency. All stations stand by. This is a directed net. Contact net control for...(rumble...craaackk...​)

I'd never know what the weather in Iowa is otherwise.

Take it to the system.

No earthquake yesterday, at least not that I noticed. This suggests that, as I suspected, the guy didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. This is not surprising; since entire university seismology labs have failed when trying to predict earthquakes, one can hardly expect some dweeb with no background in any of the relevant sciences and a crappy little web site to do any better.

[NA4BH]

Why do you hate scientists?

[KG4NEL]

They keep saying the Earth goes around the sun, when everyone knows it revolves around the WIK.

It's turtles, turtles all the way down!

As long as the WIK stays in California, things should be ok. If he ever leaves, it will throw the whole world out of kilter until it readjusts itself.

The most seismic thing in this thread is Kevin showed up.

That rocks. ;)

The phenom I'm talking about is actually an HF effect - I am aware of the VLF observations, too.

I started posting my story a couple decades ago, and every time I do, more people pop up with odd observations that seem to confirm that sometimes, it does happen.

Back in 1971, my father, W6VPV called me into the hamshack to listen to some strange signals from Southern Cal (we were in San Jose). All the ham signals on 20 and 40
meters from the LA area were 'ringing' - they sounded like they were going over the pole through the auroral zone, but these signals were very strong. It was truly odd -
signals from LA never sounded like that. We called my younger brother in to listen, too. The effect continued all night - on 80 meters, too.

The following morning, we got up, and the morning newspaper headline told us about the huge Sylmar Earthquake.

My father thought he had observed this ringing two other times - in 1964 on KL7 stations prior to the big quake there, and prior to a big one in Central America some years later.

In the years since, there have been observations of the phenom reported by some researchers. The University of Hawaii recorded the effect there prior to a quake. There is a guy at Caltech who has been researching this, but there are a number of Russian scientists who have published theories and lists of observations. NASA also published a paper where they documented the detection of ripples in the ionosphere by satellites, over areas where major quakes would soon occur. The Russians have published papers theorizing that gravity waves result in the ionospheric disturbance. Those ripples result in Doppler shift on the signals received at a distance, hence the 'ringing' effect, similar to auroral Doppler.

As I said, every time I put this story out there, I get emails from pretty credible people reporting similar RF related precursors. One was a researcher who was working at Mt. St. Helens when it erupted, and he reported that they observed a big RF pulse the night before the eruption. Others observed the ringing prior to the Loma Prieta quake in the Bay Area.
This only seems to happen on large quakes in the 6+ range, and I'm not sure if the type of quake makes a difference, but it likely does.

I turned everything I had over to a grad student who was working for the researcher at Caltech a few years ago, and he was pursuing the idea of setting up HF beacons and receivers along the San Andreas. I almost wonder if that was part of the inspiration for the movie.

Thanks for sharing that with us. (Insert THUMBS-UP emoticon here)

Ooops..........sorry. When I see your posts I always get those two mixed up.

:rofl::rofl:You are way too kind to me. Blow me............ I'm sorry, I get that mixed up too. :rofl: :rofl:
