[time-nuts] GPS jump

[Magnus Danielson]

To me it doesn't look like a real jump but rather a result of aggregated 
systematics. I think it is related to satellite orbits and how they 
provide number of birds or lack of good symmetry, or both.

Both september 28th and 29th have equivalently large jumps as october 9th.

Cheers,
Magnus
