    I get Gorizont 17 (89-004A, 19765) as a candidate.  Its most 
    recent PPAS flash period is 33.nn or twice that; 22.nn is 
    an interesting fraction.
    
    I was thinking it might be Superbird A (89-041A, 20040), for 
    which I've been expecting predictions to appear any time now.
    (When it appears, it should be flashing at about 3:00 hours 
    UTC.  In the middle of the episode it flashes every 11 seconds.)
