Hi J=F3n,

To get better resolution in time, change the time=20
window (x scale) to 40 seconds.

Then use the Display/Modify system to enter the=20
known location, origin time, and magnitude from=20
the Iceland network (http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/englishweb/eqlist.html).

Click on the Loc button and the P and S markers=20
will be positioned automatically.  When I did=20
this they were close to the start of the phases,=20
but a one or two seconds late.  This could mean=20
that your clock is a few seconds fast, or that=20
the velocity model does not fit exactly for Iceland.

When I position the P and S markers, the implied=20
distance is 162 km, whereas the computed distance=20
is 166 km.  This is pretty close.

I think you recorded the 3.4 event rather than=20
the 3.0 event, but it can be hard to untangle=20
events that are this close together in space and time.

I posted my WinQuake windows showing the way I would pick this earthquake=
