The data don't seem to indicate a rapid decline. This apparent decline
is probably a mis-interpretation of the airmass effect.
Furthermore, the data by Shiokawa-san was on Jan. 13.
The data again prefers a longer alias (not very surprising considering
the difficulty in observing and analyzing the low-altitude evening object).
The observed times of superhumps seem to suggest the presence of a stage
transition around Jan. 9, but the observed decrease of the period seems
to be too large. More observations will clarify the nature of the
period variation.
