Following the first detection of an ionospheric disturbance caused by a gamma-ray burst, we searched for amplitude changes induced by gamma-ray bursts in very low frequency radio waves (VLF) propagating in the earth-ionosphere waveguide. All VLF propagation paths end in Huntsville, Alabama and the transmitters are located in Australia, Puerto Rico, Maine, Maryland, Washington State, Hawaii and Nebraska. Out of 200 bursts, which could have been detectable along 600 different propagation paths, not a single confirmed ionospheric disturbance attributable to a gamma-ray burst was found. Thus, it has been showed that the VLF approach is most likely not a viable method to detect gamma-ray bursts unless it can be demonstrated that all sea paths lead to a significant number of detections.
