Is it common to get alot of hits in 1 wu the 1 i am doing right now i
am
only 92% done with and have 63 spikes 0 gaussians 5 pulss and 11
triplets
many with and all triplets have a score of 11-12. I am only on my 28th
work
unit so I am not sure how common this is as I have never seen it
before.
Am
I getting my hopes up for no reason or is this normal.




Most of these types of units are suffering from background interference
eg:-
emissions from local radio stations or a plane flying overhead and
spoiling
the observation, you might find that some units start and only go for a
few
minutes and then finish due to so much rubbish in the signal you will
still
get the credit for doing them so you get a bonus point :)

Also every once in a while seti@home send out reference units that check
the
calibration on your machine, these can finish abruptly as well.
