Hi,

I'll try to reply to Bret and Chris.

Please note that I am not complaining, but I just am not ready to jump 
into this project with both feet.

As most of us, our funds do not match our dreams. Also, I just do not 
have the time to spend on building a system as I should.
Glenn went "whole hog" on his design. What a wonderful instrument. 
Something that would be appreciated in your living room.

My location is on a the top of an alluvial plane consisting of sand and 
clay. I found this out when I had a well drilled.
They went down to 960 feet without finding water, or bed rock. There was 
a lot of river sand and clay that clogged the drill.
No water and no bed rock! Therefore, a stable platform is not available.

In my past, I would visit the USGS offices in Golden, Colorado. Pearson 
would always take the time to talk with me and provide publications for 
my use.

The science and expertise from this group has just overwhelmed me.

All I want to do, is to have a monitoring station that would fit into my 
emergency communications facility and provide me with general knowledge 
of the "shaking".

We all are getting older: Jim Berkland and myself!

I appreciate the time you are taking to read my comments and question. 
You must be saying, "this guy is really a novice".
This may be true, but I am serious.

Years ago, I constructed a "Poor Mans Pendulum Seismograph". I provided 
an article for this construction to the HAM Seismic group.

I am trying to be honest with you and, maybe, this will give some 
confidence to those who lurk on this group.

Thank you!

Dick Habegger
