I have the necessary frequency stability/accuracy either already in place or easily arranged and I'm certainly interested, but unfortunately I live inland about 1000 miles from the East coast of Canada (the best Rx location would be somewhere around St. Johns Newfoundland). Nevertheless, I'll see if I can receive the Alpha signals for a start. I've been monitoring your experiments and you guys have me all excited about this VLF stuff! 73, Bill VE2IQ
