Well, there ya go.  ALOHA is a strictly RF computation, and only looks at 
stations heard via a TNC (e.g. a serial TNC, AGWPE interface, or AX.25
port).

It takes a half-hour to gather the data for an ALOHA computation, if 
there are enough stations heard to compute one.  The computation is redone 
every half hour.  

If you've got an RF connection, and wait at least a half hour, you should see
something under "View->Aloha Statistics."

Until the first half-hour is over, View-ALOHA Statistics will say it hasn't
been computed yet.
