Interesting thought, Jim, but you have lost the context. What I was listening to was Tim's recording. 'JK

Even though I'm sitting in once place with a 2.4kHz filter making this recording, I understand that the actual spectrum occupied is wider and it cycles through the bands repeating on a several minute cycle.
