Guy, what a wonderful use for Perseus! Mystery solved! My clips were just 3 minutes each from :59 to :02 past each hour, so no way I could get that ID. I thought it could be the Canadian, but without your input, I could not be certain. To everyone, Perseus is truly a "time machine" and every bit as good as being there at the dials "live"! In fact, it's something that can be enjoyed time and time again!......Walt.
