Chris,

I appreciate your input, your education, your knowledge and experience.  I 
really do.  That is why I included you in my email to everyone.

Since you asked, I have achieved a 14-16 sec. period and from what others 
tell me and what I read on PSN stations list, it is not that bad to start 
with and learn..  That is what I am trying to discover.....is it good 
enough!

My overnight "wiggles" seem to me to be possibility related to temperature 
variations because it goes away later in the morning after daytime warming 
up.  I do not have enough community related noise close enough to cause 
problems.  I have placed a piece of foam under the magnets and see what 
happens tonight.  I know you told me that was not the problem!  But, I have 
to check it out.  Also, I have no idea what material the magnets are made 
from since John bought them (source unknown)

Chris, I realize that the amateur seismology community does NOT have the 
mega-bucks for equipment and must suffer the limitations, but that it NO 
reason not to strive for better performance, troubleshoot problems and 
strive to improve equipment, within our budgets!  Don't tell me that it 
can't be done.  I won't accept that.

Don't tell me that my damned floor is not level either.  What floor is, 
totally.  That is what the leveling screws are for and I did that.  I 
understand about the angle adjustment too, but simply saying that it needs 
to changed does not make it easy to accomplish.

The sensor worked for John before he sent it to me.  I will make it work for 
me too, and improve its performance if I can.  I do not want to redesign or 
rebuild it.  After all, it is mostly all his sensors that you see posted on 
the PSN website.  Where are all those other BETTER posts?  The proof is in 
the pudding.  Isn't that what they say?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I am not a scientist or engineer.  I'm 
doing the best I can with the knowledge and money I have......which ain't 
much :>)

Regards,
Jerry
