Amplitudes and frequencies vary, but they are generally weak compared with the carrier. As noted in the previous report, data from 2004/258 were lost because the signal was drifting too fast to capture. There are several dropouts in the data from 2004/262 collected at DSS 63. X-RCP and S-RCP seem to have been affected equally. X-LCP shows the second set of dropouts at 16:15-16:25, but not the first (14:40-15:05). X-LCP also shows some increases at 15:10-15:25, which do not appear in other channels. S-LCP shows a broad increase at 15:20-15:25, which may be associated with the X-LCP increases, though it has a very different signature. The S-LCP signal is very weak and the fact that we do not see the other dropouts should not be taken as conclusive evidence they don't exist; the signal loss may be so small compared with the background noise that the difference is not obvious in our quick-look processing results. We have no explanation for any of these anomalies. Data from 2004/262 at DSS 15 include only X-RCP and S-RCP because of limited capabilities at that facility. Data on 2004/264 have a dropout lasting about 5 minutes and centered on 15:00, visible in all channels. Data from 2004/265 have been transferred to Stanford; but we have not been able to process them because of problems with our work station and its access to the JPL MATLAB license manager.
