Hi I think we are both taking it as a given that the eclipse’s impact on the ionosphere will be “visible” even with a fairly simple setup. I guess that might qualify for a very loose definition of the term “hypothesis” in my case. I can’t speak for Tom. Bob > On Jul 13, 2017, at 6:24 PM,

The trick is to just run the timing receiver in all-in-view mode collecting 1PPS data against your house standard as usual, but also capture all the binary message(s) where the per-SV Az/El/SNR and phase residuals are reported. This allows you to re-create the individual "1PPS" from each SV
