Hi Ted,
I have been running a Shakelford-Gunderson sensor since mid 2000, and in
that time have collected a little over 500 events. I made up a couple
of Excel spreadsheets to keep track of them. The spreadsheets
automatically plot the events on a magnitude - distance scatter plot
along with a color coded (and very subjective) measure of "quality" of
the detection. At my location in central NY my plots show a lot of
detections from about Mag 5.5 and up at ranges of 3000 mi and greater.
Closer in than 3000 mi, I see a lot of stuff at lower magnitudes. I
think the noise performance of my set-up leaves a lot to be desired but
that otherwise, it seems to do about as well as people are reporting for
their Lehmans. I could send you copies of my data if you're interested.
I think this listserve strips off attachments, but I will send the
info directly to anyone who is curious.
