Ground-based observational networks are now able to reliably detect more than 20 frequencies for individual δ Scuti stars. The ground-based Delta Scuti Network specializes in the intensive study of individual stars for several months with dedicated telescopes on different continents. With the new quantity and quality of data, the observational limit to extracting 50 or more frequencies in a single δ Scuti star is no longer determined only by the signal/noise ratio, but by the available frequency resolution.

Recent results on the δ Scuti stars FG Vir and 4CVn are presented. 4CVn exhibits some of the characteristics of δ Scuti stars: some close spacings are observed, pulsations occur in specific frequency regions with relatively sharp borders, and show large amplitude variations. This presents an important asteroseismological diagnostic, and can help us to improve our understanding of for example rotation and excitation mechanisms.

We also report a new Gamma Doradus variable with two excited g modes (HD 108100, F2V).
