Yes.

For the previous year or so, my local power has been very good.  I've seen 
occasional off-by-one counts in both directions but nothing more interesting 
than that.

I haven't tracked single-cycle steps down to either the raw power or my 
collection setup.  Here are examples:

ng
Note that the vertical scale is cycles rather than seconds.

I also see occasional cases where it looks like a generator is dropping off 
line and it takes a while for the rest of the system to catch up:

One of these days, I'll capture the audio.

Thanks for the heads-up.  It was just a fatfinger.  They should be fixed now.
