https://www.febo.com/pages/hf_stability/ shows the "about 1 Hz"
variation one sees in various places.
That's the apparent variation in frequency which is really the phase
shift changing during sunrise/sunset.
Looking at the 10 MHz data, it looks like there's a 0.1 Hz change
lasting about 2 hours. I think that's a change of 720 cycles, or 72
microseconds at 10 MHz.
