Summary: An experimental setup to measure gravitational density. Duplicate sensors are used in a temperature stable environment to detect time shift measurements. Following basic data analysis, it is suggested that the deviations are related to lunar motion.

A duplication of the twin sensor setup at the same geographical location is used to observe the known and predictable celestial event of lunar motion. The oscillator setups were done with nominally 10 and 20MHz oscillator pairs so that measurements were similar, but not identical. The measurement was set up that the sensor sets reacted with an opposing bias. For this experiment the sensors were installed in a strong room in an environment that has a stable temperature environment, and a minimum of human intervention in closely approaching the sensors.

Recently Wagner significantly improved his detector implementation by measuring the difference in masked and unmasked oscillator frequencies. Compared to previous measurements, where differences were analyzed numerically, the measurements show much less noise. Sensor data is depicted in graphs with time on the x-axis. Sensor data is analyzed by subtracting a constant offset to allow more convenient graphs. To filter any short term variations, a 3 hour moving average is subsequently calculated.

Referring to the graphs (see links below):

1. The opposing biases of the sensors are evident in the "mirroring" of the graphs.
2. No attempt was made to amplify or normalize the sensor input. As expected the 10 and 20MHz sensors show different reactivity, or sensitivity.
3. Both sensor outputs show a longer term drift.
