The ionosphere disturbance over an earthquake precursor can have a spread of several hundred miles and overlay multiple earthquake fault zones. As noted in the article cited in my previous post, precursors can occur and not result in a fault movement.
There are a number of sensor devices that can detect the electromagnetic emission caused by an earthquake precursor (and earthquake) but the big problem is having a real-time system that links the detectors. The real-time system is the major achievement of the seismographic system. Traditional seismographs are dealing with an actual earth movement and there are substantial propagation delays which are readily handled by that real-time system.
There are a lot of other factors involved in detecting disruptions in radio propagation. Depending upon an APMs location, its primary signal sense may be swamped by local emissions and have little change caused by propagated signals. There will be major differences in radio propagation depending upon day and night. Solar glitches will effect sensors in some areas and not in others. Various types of radio transmission devices are gong on and off all the time and they will caused unexpected rise and falls in an APMs output. How do you normalize a particular locations APM output?
The DEMETER satellite can detect emissions in real time, when it is overhead, but that one satellite cannot triangulate the ground area which had the emission.
