[time-nuts] Excel logarithmic function (was Thermal impact on OCXO)

[Lars Walenius]

Bob,
I have to ask about the B-term. In the paper that Scott started this with I see that B was 4.45. But if I understand you correct Bt<1 even at 30days is normal? That would mean a B of <0.033?

that bt gets large.
