Claud Lowe-
    There is an international organization of amateur seismologists, Public
Seismic Network (PSN), who build and operate their own seismographs and exhange
data and communicate with one another via the Internet. The best way to become
familiar with the PSN is to check out the website .
There are six PSN stations in Texas at present, and you can look at some of
those sites on the map of worldwide PSN locations
. I have forwarded this email to the PSN
listserver (PSN-L), and you also could sign up with PSN-L (see directions at
). If you have any other questions, please
contact me.
    Good luck!
