I wrote up my analysis of the "banding" : (Draft -- I'll rename it later).
http://lenr.qumbu.com/rossi_hotcat_oct2014_141014a.php Short answer : we don't even know whether the bright bands line up with the wires, or the gaps between them. There are multiple explanations, which depend on the structure used to hold the wires, and on the properties of everything. Insufficient data !!!!!
