	For some reason AZ hasn't been audible here in Southern California
recently, although I listen regularly.  In times past (and hopefully in
the future) Jim's "fast CW" signal has been plenty readable with the
receiver set to 6 kHz bandwidth.  When he was running QRSS he used to
have a LOT of chirp and I probably have some recordings of that.  For
that matter, many of the 4096 beacons accumulate a lot of chirp when
their batteries get low and haven't been recharged sufficiently by their
solar panels.
