That IS interesting.. It reads to me that the advice is to keep a "moving 300 pt ADEV" when continously monitoring a (pair of) frequency source in e.g a VLBI site - the reason for limiting it to 300 pts being that much more than that is likely to average out potential issues.. 

Does that make sense?
