[Aavso-sid-list] VLF/SID monitoring

[Rodney Howe]

Siddhartha,

Where are you located?   Have you looked at this web site? 
http://www.infiltec.com/SID-GRB@home/
It has a lists of folks, some of whom might be near you.   I think Dusty 
Samource in Montana uses the SkyPipe software to record data with the sound 
card.  Here in Fort Collins, CO. I'm using a Radio Shack DMM and capture 
data at 2 second intervals.
