The spectrum of compressional Alfven eigenmodes localized in the potential well created by a combination of the variation in plasma density and the wavenumber k/sub perpendicular/ = m/r is obtained, and its importance for radio frequency current drive is discussed. It is found that modes with small parallel wavenumbers and frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency are attractive for current drive.
