        <div>  The X and Y traces return after 24 hours to nearly the
          same relative value in both the reference and RM3100 traces. 
          The Z trace does not.  Ionospheric currents flowing in the E
          region should not affect Z exclusive of X and Y under most any
          geometry I can think of, so I wondered whether the
          uncalibrated RM3100 was likely causing this.  (I have never
          professionally calibrated a magnetometer, so Hyomin might need
          to comment here.). In other words, I always assume there is
          some measurement systematic until it has been completely ruled
          out before assigning it to geophysical variation.</div>

                      <div> <font face="Arial">All, <br>
                          I was hoping to record a relatively short term
                          event but missed one about 10 days ago. 
                          However, there was a good run on the 12th with
                          an ~30nT excursion on the Y axis lasting about
                          an hour.  In the attached pdf, the three axes
                          of the RM3100 again track the Fredericksburg
                          magnetometer station data quite closely.  The
                          RM3100 plotted data points are simple running
                          60second averages and not the more complex
                          filtering algorithm used by Intermagnet
                          stations for their 1 minute data points. <br>
                          <br>
                          The vertical axes scales on all plots are as
                          close as I could match them by eye in cutting
                          and pasting.<br>
                          <br>
                          I believe the value to the right on the
                          Intermagnet plot is the mean for the 24 hour
                          period.  I did not try to compute a 24 hour
                          mean.<br>
                          <br>
                          One of the products for the future for general
                          interest would be a running plot like those
                          available on Intermagnet.org.  I guess we can
                          dream a bit.  <br>
