Arecibo to NIST (TEMPO2)

Arecibo clock corrections to UTC(NIST) (TEMPO2 version)

The early clock corrections for Arecibo predate GPS and are actually referenced directly to NIST. This clock correction file separates these out so their corrections can be handled using a different clock chain.

This file is pulled from the TEMPO2 repository and may not be fully up-to-date.
