Abstract: We prove a compactness theorem for pseudopower operations of the form $p{p}_{Gamma(mu,sigma)}(mu)$ where $alep{h}_0<sigma=cf(sigma)leqcf(mu)$. Our main tool is a result that has Shelah's cov vs. pp Theorem as a consequence. We also show that the failure of compactness in other situations has significant consequences for pcf theory, in particular, implying the existence of a progressive set $A$ of regular cardinals for which $pcf(A)$ has an inaccessible accumulation point.
