When I listen to the weather on my VHF there is an observation taken at the Halifax buoy. Is this buoy "Halifax Alpha" or a different one?

Cap’n Squally’s Rant.
You want to talk to me about weather, Dave? You think that little blow you were out in counts as weather? I’ll tell you about weather, lad.
Picture a night so foul it would make an atheist pray. Blacker than four foot up a whale’s backside, take it from a man who’s been there – we had 2 reefs in the jib and 3 in the main. The rain was blowin’ horizontal, so thick you couldn’t tell where the sea ended and the sky began. The seas were like mountains we were shipping them green over the bow and tossin’ the seaweed out of the cockpit. The wind was screachin’ like a banshee tearing it’s guts out on the rigging when out of the dark one monstrous grey beard sea towering higher than the rigging came roaring up out of the night on us and the ship went up and up and up, until finally it plunged straight down the other side and I was lookin’ straight into hell. And that’s when Death reached his cold bony hand into my chest and gave my heart a little sque-e-e-ze...and a voice older than time and drier than dust whispered slowly into my ear, “You can die out here, boyo.” That’s when the mate, with one prehensile toe curled casually round the tiller sniffed, hawked and spat to windward and said to me, “It must be hell on shore on a night like this, Squally.” And that’s what I call weather, Dave lad.
