[Lowfer] VLF Alpha stations

[Douglas D. Williams]

I've always had trouble copying the Alphas here in east TN. I've heard them
a few times, but it is a rare thing for me. Used to hear the old Omega
stations all the time, very strong. Not sure why I'm having trouble with
them. I can copy many MSK stations from 15-40 kHz, including Europe,
Australia, and Hawaii.
