Jon,
Today I detected the Tonga M6.0 and M5.3 quakes, 77 degrees away. And =
the
Kermandec Islands M5.2, 82 degrees away. I filter Low pass .08Hz and =
high
pass .02Hz.
With the filters I'm using I'm looking for the long range quakes. The
seismometer has a flat response from 100 seconds to 20Hz. See
http://www.blue-eagle-technologies.com/seismo1.html The data is updated
every 10 minutes.=20

Hi Gary,

Isn't the FBV seismometer a low frequency seismometer. I am sure that is
why you are detecting earthquakes from the South Pacific. What is the
absolute minimal size that you can detect ? With my 4.5Hz seismometer I
can go down to ML0.01 when weather is good.

Here is how a volcano tremor looks like on my system. This is filtered
at 2Hz.

The movement was most at E-W sensor. But I guess that is the direction
the magma was pushing when this earthquake did happen.
