How about Planetized Back Yard (*) Medium LBI? If you, the measurement enthusiast, have decent gps hardware + see yourself as 1 point in the LBI + have good timestamps for your measurement + a decent protocol to combine them I would say "Radio astronomy for fun & profit!". Mostly fun in this case! Combine your local datapoints + gps derived datestamps (and estimate of uncertainty) with those of fellow enthusiasts around the planet. Certainly looks like fun, and it might even be useful. ;)

That should be within reason for a semi-nut. All it takes is a good GPS setup. The ballpark motion of the San Andreas fault is an inch per year. Around here (Silicon Valley), it's reasonably common to see USGS monitoring stations along the side of the road. There is a big sturdy tripod with a foot diameter antanna and a dome on top with a fence around it. There is one on the right as you are going south on101 a bit south of San Jose. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
