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.
