Sonified ELF signals from California, Hawaii and Virgin Island locations with 16x frequency shift

Much of my ELF measurement was done at my home using a 150' pine tree as antenna.

During the recording, there was a power failure at 30s in that ended at 54s.

See previous post for all the gorey details.

This version has the frequency shifted by 16 times, 4 octaves, to make it more audible.

Sonified 16x during power failure 

Additional ELF reading using the new portable ELF receiver and ESP32 based controller.

Picture of palm tree on Sandy Ca, there were 5 palms visible on east side and this was the north most and easiest to reach barefoot. The hermit crab that lived under wasn't to threatening.
