A possible radio anomaly observed on the occasion of the MW=6.0 earthquake occurred in Dodecanese islands at the end of January 2020
No full textSince 2009, several VLF/LF radio receivers have been installed throughout Europe in order to realize a European radio network for studying the radio precursors of earthquakes, called the INFREP network. The current network has nine VLF/LF receiving stations, two in Romania and Greece, one in Italy, Austria, Portugal, Cyprus, and Serbia. The receivers can measure with 1 min sampling rate the intensity of 10 radio signals in the band VLF (10-50 kHz) and LF (150-300 kHz). The scope of existing transmitters is manifold, e.g. they are used for radio broadcast (LF), for radio- navigation or time signals and mainly for military purposes in the VLF range. At the end of January 2020 an intense seismic crisis occurred in Dodecanese Islands; the main event (Mw= 6.0) occurred on January 30. This seismic activity occurred in the "sensitive" area of the INFREP network. The analysis of the data collected by INFREP receivers has revealed clear anomalies in three VLF signals appearing some days before the main earthquake. The anomalies appear in the trends collected by the Cyprus receiver and the epicenter is inside the 5th Fresnel ellipses defined by transmitters- receiver. Here we report the data analysis and we present in detail the anomalies. The possibility that they are precursors of the quoted earthquake seems significant.

Analysis of the LF data collected by the European radio network during one year
No full textDuring 2008 a radio receiver was developed by the Italian factory Elettronika. The receiver is an equipment working in VLF (15-60 kHz) and LF (150-300 kHz) bands. It can monitor 10 frequencies distributed in these bands and,
for each of them, saves the electric field intensity. During 2009 six receivers were installed for the realization of
the “European VLF/LF network”. Actually, two of them are into operation in Italy and one in Greece, Turkey, Portugal and Romania, respectively; a sampling rate of 1 minute is used. The LF radio data collected from July 2009
to December 2010 have been analysed. At first, for each radio signal, the day time data and the night time ones
were separated. Taking into account that the LF signals are characterized by the ground wave and the sky wave
propagation modes, the day data are related to the ground wave and the night data to the sky wave. In a first analysis
the effect of the solar activity and of the thunderstorm activity was pointed out in the different trends. Then the
wavelet analysis was applied on the same trends. Some anomalies probably related to earthquakes occurred nearby
some transmitter-receiver path with M>5 were revealed
The European VLF/LF radio network to search for earthquake precursors: setting up and natural/man-made disturbances
No full textIn the last years disturbances in VLF/LF radio signals related to seismic activity have been presented. The radio data were collected by receivers located on the ground or on satellites. The ground-based research implies systematic data collection by a network of receivers. Since 2000 the "Pacific VLF network", conducted by Japanese researchers, has been in operation. During 2008 a radio receiver was developed by the Italian factory Elettronika (Palo del Colle, Bari). The receiver is equipment working in VLF and LF bands. It can monitor 10 frequencies distributed in these bands and, for each of them, it saves the power level. At the beginning of 2009, five receivers were made for the realization of the "European VLF/LF Network"; two were planned for Italy and one for Greece, Turkey and Romania, respectively. In 2010 the network was enlarged to include a new receiver installed in Portugal. In this work, first the receiver and its setting up in the different places are described. Then, several disturbances in the radio signals related to the transmitters, receivers, meteorological/geomagnetic conditions are presented and described

Anomalies observed in VLF and LF Radio Signals on the occasion of the western Turkey Earthquake (M=5.7) on may 19, 2011
No full textSince 2009 a network of VLF (20 - 60 kHz) and LF (150 - 300 kHz) radio receivers is operating in Europe in order to study the disturbances produced by the earthquakes on the propagation of these signals. In 2011 the network was formed by nine receivers, of which three are located in Italy and one is in Austria, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Russia and Turkey. On May 19, 2001 an earthquake (Mw = 5.7) occurred in western Turkey, that is inside the “sensitive” area of the network. The radio data collected during April-May 2011 were studied using the Wavelet spectra, the Principal Component Analysis and the Standard Deviation trends as different methods of analysis. Evident anomalies were revealed both in the signals broadcasted by the TRT transmitter (180 kHz) located near Ankara and in a VLF signal coming from a transmitter located in Western Europe and collected by the receiver TUR of the network located in eastern Turkey. Evident precursor phases were pointed out. Some differences in the efficiency of the three analysis methods were revealed

The INFREP Network: Present Situation and Recent Results
No full textVLF/LF (20 - 300 kHz) radio waves propagation is affected by different factors such as meteorological conditions, solar bursts and geomagnetic activity.
At the same time, variations of some parameters in the ground, in the atmosphere and in the ionosphere occurring during the preparatory phase of
earthquakes can produce disturbances in the propagation of the previous signals along their radio paths: these disturbances are the radio precursors.
Since 2009, several VLF/LF radio receivers have been installed throughout Europe in order to realize a European (VLF/LF) radio network for studying
the VLF/LF radio precursors of earthquakes, called the INFREP network. In this paper, at first the description of the present situation of the INFREP
network is presented, that is: the location of the receivers, the location of the VLF/LF transmitters whose signal is sampled, the daily download of the data
collected by the receivers on the INFREP server and the method of data analysis used in order to individuate possible radio precursors. Then the results
obtained on the occasion of recent (2016-2017) seismic activities which occurred in the “sensitive” zone of the INFREP network are presented. The first
case examined is the October 30, 2016 earthquake with Mw = 6.5, which occurred in Central Italy, near Norcia small town; this earthquake was preceded
by a strong shock (Mw = 5.9) which occurred 4 days before. The second case presented is the strong (Mw = 6.7) offshore earthquake which occurred on July
20, 2017, near the coast of Turkey and Kos island (Greece) and the third case is the August 8, 2017 earthquake with Mw = 5.0, which also occurred near
the coast of Turkey and Kos island (Greece). In all the previous cases radio anomalies were revealed in some radio signals collected by the receiver located in Cyprus. The influence of causes different from seismicity as geomagnetic activity and solar burst, meteorological conditions, malfunction of
the receiver and/or the transmitters has been examined and none convincing connections appeared. So, the possibility that the previous anomalies are radio
precursors of the earthquakes seems realistic. Finally, some discrepancy of some of these anomalies with respect to the general peculiarities of the radio
precursors is presented and discussed
