Following de-extinction, weighted least-square fitting indicates a power-law exponent of alpha = -0.62 +/- 0.49. This is steeper than that reported for the peak components and its origin remains unclear with respect to contemporary magnetospheric theory.2 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of IAU Colloquium 177 : "Pulsar Astronomy - 2000 & Beyond", Ed.
