This is the responce Bob Duckworth gave when I sent him a descriptions of
the problem.
Bob used to run the Ga Tech seismic net work and also did some shipboard
exploration seismic stuff.

He did not have benefit of all the discussions.  It is interesting that he
has much the same train of thought as Sean-Thomas, ie there is a bad joint
doing the rectification.   Sean-Thomas focused on the ground and Bob focused
on a process to find the rectification but both had the same goal.

SeanThomas, off list I want to ask you why a Farday cage won't work on am
broadcast.
