4 January 2008 --
Week 622 results (2007 December 28 - 2008 January 3)

Mkn 421 - about 25 mCrab
Cir X-1 - below 20 mCrab
X1553-542 - ~25 mCrab (based on relatively noisy data); see also ATel No. 1345
X1630-472 - ~130 mCrab; see also ATel No. 1348
H1743-322 - the data show a number of high intensities; however, these could all be strongly affected by solar contamination; in the opinion of the reviewer (AML) it is premature to conclude that this source is in outburst (cf. ATel No. 1348). Note that this is much different from the case of X1630-472, where the results do NOT look noisy like the product of contamination.
