A response of 0.1-100Hz is not possible when sampling at 120Hz. In
theory the maximum is 60Hz, but even then detection of a 59Hz signal
would be rather unstable (going in and out of phase with the sampling
frequency). I like the recommendation you quoted from the "IFCN
Standards" of using a higher sampling rate, say 200Hz.

Dear Jim Peters:
Mr. Nyquist was not violated. Doug combined two statements. I built a system that transmitted 3 bytes at 9600 Baud, that is two channels with a reference byte. With that configuration I was able to run at a 200 to 300 Hz rate. The other version transmits 5 bytes, or 4 channels. On that version I set the sampling rate so that I see about 65 to 70 Hz. That avoids the 60 Hz causing aliases.
