Thomas,

Check that you have the correct lat and lon for the Fiji event.  It 
was not 180 degrees away from the mid west.

For computed distances, see this USGS page:
http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eq_depot/2007/eq_071209_ksak/neic_ksak_t.html

This page includes two seismograms from Oregon:

Cheers,
John
