It was a few hours before I got to the rx to retrieve the
battery so it continued on an almost dead battery and recorded
two more messages.

Partial reception at 10:30 gave enough to measure +3 uHz.

I was able to measure the phase over the entire 21 hour
recording in 5 minute averages:

This looks to me like propagation, not drift of the tx
oscillator.  It's a pretty typical diurnal.  I'm plotting
phase measured at a frequency offset of -255 uHz.

I think that Joe's oscillator is actually doing very well and
we are seeing mostly the effect of propagation.  The phase ends
up nearly where it started and the total day/night change is
about -1250 degrees or about -3.5 cycles.
