Hi Bob,

"You have roughly 25 ns p-p in the data you show."
OK, here's a misunderstanding on my part right off the bat. You see the swing
as a p-p value, when I've been looking at it as only +/- 12.5ns from the
trendline.
said some time ago:
"Now toss in the basics of GPS. Depending on the day, you will get <10 ns to
>100 ns swing over a 24 hour period. Today may or may not be the same as
tomorrow."
So maybe I'm thinking too much about the >100ns figure, and not so much about
the <10ns figure you mentioned. The average doesn't seem to do much for me,
either. So, is the probability curve between 10ns and 100ns, where 100ns is
least probable, of the type y=2^-x? IOW, in a year, I might see one 100ns
swing, I would probably see at least one or two 50ns swings, and will probably
see anything less than that multiple times, with the probably increasing as the
value gets lower.
Not trying to crucify you with your own words, Bob. Like many of the time-nuts
who don't post, I'm just trying to make some sense of this in terms I can deal
with.

Hi
You have roughly 25 ns p-p in the data you show. There are a number of 10 ns
“cycles” in the data.
Any of this *may* be due to ionosphere. They also could be due to other issues.
With ~4.4 days of noisy
data, it may be tough to spot a trend. Since the ionosphere is a bit random,
there is no guarantee that
you *will* always see a pretty sinusoidal trend line through the data. It’s a
good bet that things quiet down
around midnight. There is no guarantee that they always go nuts (or go nuts to
the same degree) around noon.
