Since the goal of this BYMLBI (Back Yard Medium LBI) is to measure the
change in the earth's rotation rate, one would at the least need a time
code recorded on those tapes, since you want to know the instant when
the source crosses some reference plane. It's not quite like a classic
interferometer application where you're looking for high resolution in a
small region, but don't need high absolute position accuracy.
