[time-nuts] Long period variation of GPS PPS timing?

[Jean-Louis Oneto]

Hi,
If your GPS run in fixed position mode, how do you determine the position? 
Could this cycle be an artefact caused by a bad position? 50 mn could be the 
order magnitude of visibility of a satellite?
Just a thought...
HTH,
Regards,
Jean-Louis Oneto
