To extent to sensor period what about using winquake and imposing a 2 pole =
low pass filter to the signal's fft=A0 starting at the sensors rf?=20
On a different note , could there be a vertical component to the P wave due=
 to the angle of wave to the earths tangent due to the depth of the hypocen=
ter ?
