At the Gate of Horn was re-released on CD by Rykodisc in 1997 and by Empire Musicwerks in 2006. Some tracks are included on the Collectables re-release The Best of Odetta: Ballads and Blues.

Personnel
gollark: Or possibly some other SDRs.
gollark: I vaguely remember reading about RTL-SDRs being used to reverse-engineer (partly) LoRa and some satellite phone encoding.
gollark: If they were using some bizarre exotic encoding but not actually encrypting it it would still be *possible*, if *very hard*, to decode it without the actual docs.
gollark: Presumably the encoding pagers use is well-known/documented enough that someone implemented a software decoder.
gollark: That's an example of it, I guess? You turn... what is it again... 3 bits into 7 bits and can convert it back even if it's scrambled a bit.
