New observations have been made of strong pulses from NP 0532. Linear polarization is typically 25 per cent and circular polarization is less than 10 per cent but definitely not zero. A comparison of pulse shapes at 429.9 and 430.1 MHz showed significant differences in detailed structure and polarization. In another study strong pulses at 318 and 111 MHz did not occur together although a strong pulse at one frequency was accompanied by an above average intensity at the other frequency. Similar behaviour was found at 111 and 74 MHz. We conclude that strong pulses do not have a smooth continuous frequency spectrum.
