The polarization went from 29.0% to 29.8% and is on its way back down (all in about 15 minutes) without changing microwave frequency. The beam current strip chart has been steady during this period, so I'm not sure what to attribute this to.

To put this variation in context, the polarization dropped from 29.9% to 29.3% during last night's owl shift.

See attached PDP image.
