Hi,

it can also depend on the depth and other factors, whether you pick it 
up or not.  I record my data continuously.  Disk space is cheap.  I only 
learned of the Fort William quake about a week after it happened.  I 
went back to the files (I record 30 minutes per file) for the time and 
date and there it was.

Cheers

Ian
