Not really, however one can measure the relative ADEV as a function of
tau for the free running OCXO and the timing receiver.
There will be a broad minimum at some tau. The optimum time constant may
lie somewhere in the vicinity of that minimum.
Its probably impossible to do much better than that without a nice
stable statistically independent (for all tau) frequency standard.
