Hi Folks,  Did anyone pick this up??   I have a very unusual signal =
during this hour,  I will process it asap. =20

The shallow, magnitude 4.7 seismic event that occurred on 25 May 2009 at =
00:54:43 UTC is linked to the claim of a nuclear test by North Korean =
officials. While the USGS cannot positively identify the seismic event =
as a nuclear test, it was shallow and located in the vicinity of the 9 =
October 2006 North Korean nuclear test (magnitude 4.3). Moreover, =
comparisons of the seismograms of the 9 October 2006 and 25 May 2009 =
events at individual seismic stations shows similar features, suggesting =
that the two events are in close spatial proximity and are the same type =
of source, although the more recent event is larger.
