[Lowfer] 14.88 kHz VLF Alpha station

[Garry]

A note at https://www.lwca.net/mb/msg/13953.htm prompted me to look for 
the VLF Alpha stations using kiwisdr receivers. All 3 have been copied 
via the KPH receiver at Pt Reyes, CA over a 5768 mi path. This morning 
receivers in Alberta (VE6ARS at 5042 mi) and Alaska (WL7NO at 3852 mi) 
also copied the transmissions at 14.88... kHz. Interestingly, while all 
3 receivers produced correlation peaks at 3.60 sec, their time 
signatures differed markedly. Only VE6ARS indicated triple bursts like 
heard in the past using an eprobe at the home QTH. That's the reason for 
calling the 14.88 kHz station "Alpha3". The station at 12.649 kHz 
transmits dual bursts (hence the label Alpha2) while the station at 
11.905 kHz transmits single bursts (hence the label Alpha1).
