compass behaviour - post your findings

[Gerard Zwaan]

For those who have a compass. Where their times that you notice that your compass was acting wierd or did you notice that your compass is off. Where north is not exact north and so on.

This from ZetaTalk: Severe Wobble

"At noon today, I checked my 2 compasses and saw that they had switched from holding at due North for many days to 60 degrees West of North. A huge swing! "

I think it might be an idea to keep a closer eye on your compass in the next few weeks and post your findings here.

Hello Gerard This is what I have sent you earlier

" I do not know if it is related but my compass has moved. Since 3 days my compass has move from it initial set position to 5 degree. My magnetic north is now 5 degree to the east. This is accurate because where the compass sits, there is no metal object, wire or TV."

Do you mean that it swung into several directions?

Hello Gerard

I have been checking every day and only saw the compass move 1 degree east of magnetic north. I am not sure if I should change the location of the compass.
