ULF RADIO
Research and Development
This is a description of my work with ULF RADIO signals over
the last 8 years ... with references to other researchers.
I first became interested in detecting ULF radio signals after Dr. Tony Fraiser-Smith
at Stanford University detected strong ULF Radio signals just prior to the
Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 (ref#1).
Dr. Jack Dea has also done work in the ULF spectrum and provided helpful
suggestions on antenna design (ref#2).
I have received astronomical inspiration from Bob Evans (ref#3).
There are other minor ULF research efforts ... worldwide
including Greece, Japan and China.
I determined to design a system to receive these signals and ... if possible ...
to find a way to use these signals in a predictive system.
The base system has been operating in Placerville, California ... since 1990.
Placervile is located in the foothills of the Siera-Nevada Mountains ...
... about 40 miles east of Sacramento, California.
I have also operated instruments in Los Angeles and Mammoth for extended times.
While many beautiful signals have been recorded ... any connection to
prediction continues to elude researchers worldwide.
Both the hardware and software were designed by my brother and myself.
