I used this as a learning exercise for my new TICC. Something is clearly
fishy.
The reference for the TICC is the crystal in a HP 5334B with the good-crystal
option. It's not calibrated, but there isn't any GPS logic to jerk it
around. I assume the swing is due to temperature. I corrected the slope of
the graph by hand.
Here is a day+ of data:
