Abstract
92 h of new Whole Earth Telescope observations have been acquired for the delta Scuti star CD-24 7599. All the seven pulsation modes reporte d by Handler et al. are confirmed. However, significant amplitude vari ations which are not caused by beating of closely spaced frequencies o ccurred within two years. Analysing the combined data of both WET runs , we detect six further pulsation modes, bringing the total number up to 13. We also examine our data for high-frequency pulsations similar to those exhibited by rapidly oscillating Ap stars, but we do not find convincing evidence for variability in this frequency domain.
