RXTE began observations of the recent outburst (ATels #3263, #3267) of the black hole candidate H1743-322 at 16:05:01 (UTC) on April 12, 2011. In a 2.4 ksec observation the source is detected at a count rate of 200 cts/s/PCU. Strong variability is evident in the form of harmonically spaced quasiperiodic oscillations (QPO) at a fundamental frequency of 0.43 Hz, and flat-topped, band limited noise below the QPO.
