In plain english who can receive the alpha dashes and at what strength

unfortunately they are down now, so i can't tell you what is the s/n now.
but it's hard not to receive these stations. with an e-field antenna (or
with a h-field antenna but at some distance from powerlines) you can hear
them without any downconversion, provided that your headphones (and ears
:) have high enough frequency cutoff. with downconversion to 800Hz i would
give it 599 if it were cw (actually they sometimes transmit a marker in
cw)
a much better test of antennas would be if people can receive SAQ with the
key up (when it is not transmitting) - i don't know what the output power
is, but lower than ALFA, probably a few kW.
