	The clearest images yet arrived from Johan SM6LKM in JO67MR on 02-SEP-04. The first one shows the QRSS10 callsign followed by the "7" of the Hell-section. There was sudden QSB at this point making the "3" invisible. The QRG jump between the "G" and the "0" was Johan retuning his RX.
	This second image from Johan SM6LKM shows the "crown" trademark signature.
	Johan reported strong signals again on the 3'rd.

	Very clear "crown" trademark, from Christian DL6JAN in Chemnitz, E Germany, JO60KU, 03-SEP-04. Note that the image is "upside-down" due to the receiver being in LSB mode.
	Two more successive screenshots from Christian DL6JAN on 04-SEP-04, which I cut and pasted together to make this composite image of the Hell message: "73 DE G0UPL". Note that now Christian's RX mode is USB the orientation is correct ;-)
	A complete cycle from Peter PA1SDB in JO33KH, taken using the Spectrum Lab software. This screenshot is particularly interesting because it shows the timing of the whole cycle, using markers every minute.
	A drift-free (for a change!) image from Uli DF5SF on 05-AUG-04 in Reutlingen, JN48ON. This image was taken in Spectran's QRSS3 mode with very low speed.
