Hey all,

Laura Swan suggested S42 for the repeated call, then Jeff reported Candi 
had also said it was an S42.  Upon listening to this Ford-Osborne clip, 
I concur:

Compare with the attached clip of today's repeated call from Jeff.

Monika's thesis associates S42 with all pods (past and present periods) 
except L pod presently, and also states:

"S1, while still the most frequent call type made by J-Pod, fell from 
approximately 38% of all calls in 1978-1983 to 25% of all calls in 
2005-2006. Other calls that underwent sharp declines in occurrence 
include S2, S4, S7, and S42, whereas S3, S10, and S37i drastically 
increased in occurrence."

Cheers,
Scott
