Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon which is difficult to predict when and how it will happen. Effort is needed to minimize the risk of earthquakes, such as the observation of the early signs before an earthquake occurs (precursor). This study was conducted to observe earthquakes in West Sumatra in two ways. Observations eleketromagnetik waves utilizing radio waves from the two stations. The study also uses seismic wave sensors that are placed in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Andalas. Based on the results of data processing of the transmission of radio waves, it is known that electromagnetic anomalies can be recorded by utilizing radio wave propagation. However, with the line of sight propagation cause a lot of loss propagation, and less effective in recording. For the recording of the earthquake through the seismic waves very well. The measurement results for the direction of the epicenter compared with the measurement result BMKG for some earthquakes end of 2013 were felt in the West Sumatra. The average error of measurement gained 9.6% since the phase delay is affected by the accuracy of the sensor device.
