  In this paper we analyze, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the density
of electronic states in nearly optimally doped BSCCO in zero field. Focusing on
the superconducting gap, we find patches of what appear to be two different
phases in a background of some average gap, one with a relatively small gap and
sharp large coherence peaks and one characterized by a large gap with broad
weak coherence peaks. We compare these spectra with calculations of the local
density of states for a simple phenomenological model in which a 2 xi_0 * 2
xi_0 patch with an enhanced or supressed d-wave gap amplitude is embedded in a
region with a uniform average d-wave gap.
