Pulsar 0301+19, whose two well-separated components provide a textbook example of the conal double profile, apparently evolves to ajeingle form at frequencies above 5 GHz. PSR 2016+28, by contrast, exhibits a single form above 200 MHz, but bifurcates strongly and very asymmetrically below 100 MHz. In few pulsars can we see the full possibilities of conal profile evolution so clearly manifested.
