Using 1658 normal points of the McDonald lunar ranging data in the period 1971.6-1979.0, I calculated the Earth's rotation curve, and found an offset of -330 × 10-10 for UT1 - UTC. The difference between the UT1 values given by the lunar data and BIH is 3.6 ms. This difference and the standard error of single determinations increase with increasing interval length used in the data reduction. This is shown to be due to the neglect of the secular term in UT1-UTC. It appears that an interval length of 2 days is suitable when calculating the Earth's rotation.
