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).
