Thanks for the info. I will try to take a look for AZ at about +70 Hz or so.

As John Andrews was kind enough to point out (actually, more like a Gotcha!) those are
the pyramids of NC. So far I've seen many variations on the theme. Yesterday there was a
high rep rate sawtooth. That was not quite as visible weak signal wise compared to the
original one that I saw about a week ago.

If you get any other info on AZ please let me know.
