32 stars have been checked for Δa variability, with the purpose to learn which factor(s) influence the strength of the λ 5200 continuum depression. One third of the stars appear to be constant within a range of 0.005 mag. The results on the remaining ones indicate that maximum strength is related to at least one of the magnetic poles, but spectral inhomogeneities are almost certainly responsible for the largest amplitudes.
