During quasi-periodic flux variations, the core of this galactic superluminal source shows: (a) a flat radio spectrum between 13cm and 2cm; (b) elongation of the core along the axis of arcsecond-scale ejecta; (c) a time-delay of ~4 mins at 3.6cm, relative to 2cm; (d) progressively less variation of the flux at 2cm, 3.6cm & 13cm; and (e) scatter-broadening to 1.9mas at 8.4GHz (135mas at 1GHz).
