The constellation may repeat at 12hr intervals , but at any static position you will only see one per day , no? , the other being 180 degrees way. I only get one regular bump.

If you have one, it will repeat once a day and show up as a bump in the timing out of your GPS module. If you track long term data, it will / may / can keep you from getting to the sort of stability you would expect in the 100,000 second range. It’s one of the main reasons that things like GPSD-Rb’s lock up with time constants much longer than 100K seconds. Yes having a Cs or something similar helps a lot looking for this sort of thing.
