[time-nuts] Excel logarithmic function (was Thermal impact on OCXO)

[Magnus Danielson]

It really means that B will be harder to get a qualitative value for.

Also, you need to have "clean" data or else you will be far off.
Plot the estimated variant and also plot the difference.
As Jim Barnes used to teach, always check the whiteness of matching 
residues!

Cheers,
Magnus
