Jay,
According to
http://wikimapia.org/6242848/VLF-Transmitter-Grid-INS-Kattabomman
VTX1,2,3,and 4 are co-located at grid MJ88vj and share a multi-tower
antenna. Thus, it seems that VTX2 and VTX4 do not simultaneously transmit.
I recall that you received VTX4 last winter around local sunset and
that's when I picked it up weakly a few times on 19.2 kHz (the above web
page cites the frequency as 19.4 kHz but other sources list 19.2 kHz and
that's where we found it). It's interesting that you are receiving VTX2
around local sunrise rather than sunset. Nothing on 17 kHz has been
copied here yet at any time, other than an obnoxious spur.
