Hi Chris, I have noted this strange effect a few times on SpecLab. Such a bogus line looks more prominent when the noise is strong, and seems to go away when it's quiet. My unproven theory is that there may be a hidden n / n-1 rounding error in the one-pixel-per-FFT-bin mapping, and the ominous line is actually calculated as the maximum magnitude from two adjacent bins, which would make it a tad brighter on average.

Yes - I hope that there is a trace of Henny's signal in there.
The 8970.016 apparent line was quite a strong effect - more so on the monitor than on the jpeg - and I'd almost convinced myself that there was another vlf transmission - but there was no sign of anything on Eddie's or Stefan's grabber. I've noticed that the eye tends to 'join up the dots' when looking for signals - it's easy to believe that there is something there in the noise.

There's also a conspicious narrow noise enhancement on 8970.016, but this seems to be a display interpolation artifact (something like 0.999 pixels per FFT-bin).

Hi Uwe - here's a screenshot of your signal in IO92vf Cambridgeshire.
