Just after I got up this morning and turned on the K3 and P3 It turned out I was tuned to TX5K (Clipperton DXpedition) on 7022.9 KHz and boy what a zoo there was calling them up anywhere from 1 to 6 KHz or so, sometimes as far as 10-12 KHz up.  After I used the P3 to find a hole near the station(s) he was working, I did manage to work them.

Using the newer P3/SVGA firmware I did a screen capture of the zoo to a memory stick and uploaded it to Photobucket so I could pass it on to whoever wanted to see it.  Those that don't, just ignore or delete this message - LOL.  I turned off the data decode/encode windows so the waterfall portion is quite large and the signal traces are really visible.  The faint ones are just barely above the noise and the brighter ones are between S7 and S9+.
