A more careful review of these remarkable phase drifts:
A) The drifts are *perfectly* linear in time over the full 6 hours,
and are independent of source.
B) The drifts are identical for each sub-band, for a given antenna.
C) The drifts are different for each antenna, and between the two
polarizations. The following table gives the one-hour rate for RCP, and
the difference in the rate between the polarizations (R - L), in
degrees. Accuracy is about 1 degree.
