    Now, are you just trolling, or do you really believe that? If you believe it, then you need to learn about earthquakes, which are not caused by subsidence of soil above low aquifers. They caused by motions of massive plates along fault lines. See for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake

    I know how fault lines create earthquakes, but couldn't it be that there was a "stable" fault-line and that by removing all the weight of the water made it release a M7.1 quake. Here is a map that shows how much the areas in California sink!
    California has always been a hotbed of earthquakes and I start to wonder if subsidence is also a major contributor to them. This is not a new issue, California is just one of many places in the world were this happens. On the west coast you have fault lines and subsidence. A deadly combination...

    the real question to be answered by both sides,which won't be!

    How did the rf-seismograph pick up the earth quake
    How did that happen if something was not distorting the rf fields?

    Doesn't make any difference to me as it does not affect my life, even though I live near a fault zone.

    Due to local noise, plus atmospherics I mostly can not hear any one of 40 meters during the day, perhaps it is because there are too many computers and I phones on the air. LOL

    And please ignore the mistakes as I am 96 years old and have been a ham for 70 years or so.

    You are missing the picture. If it is just a regular line there would have been a big quake and maybe a few aftershocks.
    Where do all the small quakes come from? That is definitely different from a usual fault line!

    there are as many different types of fault lines as there are beliefs in religion. And each time something big happens people change the definitions. Geology is a big subject in the matter.

    Water table changes can sometimes have effects near the depths where water reaches, but are you seriously suggesting it caused a strike-slip quake 10km below the surface?

    What do you think the water table effects were in the other M6+ quakes this week (Molucca, Queen Charlotte)? The previous week (Marianas, New Zealand, Panama, and Russia)?

    Yes I do; it works like a solenoid valve were you can cut off a lot of pressure with very little force. Now that the lid is off, who knows whats next. Just have to wait and see...

    I have eaten chicken at least once in the month preceding every magnitude 5.7 earthquake on the planet. I ate a chicken burrito at the Moffett Field cafeteria, and flirted with the waitress, the DAY BEFORE the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. I ate chicken on the 4th of July!

    Predict quakes before they happen and you'll get people's attention. Post event correlations won't get you a discount on coffee.

    Your efforts may not be totally futile. I know a guy who spends his days writing lottery numbers in notebooks. Some of his numbers turn out to be winners. He has a shopping cart full of composition books with tiny numbers printed on every bit of paper. After a drawing he marks the winning numbers. With this "evidence" he is able to make a living selling "winning lottery numbers".

    Fine. But are you absolutely certain it was the chicken and not a side dish that caused the quakes? PLEASE report back with more evidence. And to the residents of southern California: OBEY THE CHICKEN MORATORIUM UNTIL FUTHER NOTICE!

    Ah, but was it grilled chicken, or fried chicken? It makes a difference you know.

    Easy fix: install more water tables

    An "RF-Seismograph". Okay, exactly what is that?
