Summary The paper describes a radio‐linked short‐period seismometer network now operating in Scotland and recording on analogue magnetic tape. The network will be used as a permanent network for time‐term refraction studies, and for monitoring the minor seismic activity within the area. The magnetic tapes may be digitized in the laboratory, processed in a computer, and the network used as an array of 100‐km aperture. The aperture allows fine resolution between beams for determining apparent velocity and azimuth of teleseisms.
