Hello Con,

Thank you!

The Alphas are currently off.

You can check it on my VLF grabber if you want, it is running 24/7: 
http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_VLF_Grabber.html

There is a grabber window (RSDN-20_F1) which shows the Alpha trace at 
11904.7619 Hz. You can see it is OFF since 2 days. The lower window 
(wideband) shows the VLF spectrum, as received here in Heidelberg. 
There, you can see all 3 Alpha traces, if they are ON, at about 15 dB 
S/N, depending on daytime but always visible...

Good luck in experimenting down there :-)

73, Stefan/DK7FC
