[ARC5] ARC-5 transmitter frequency drift suggestion

[MillerKE6F at aol.com]

my favorite command set transmitter from yesteryear was an ab1 final as  
noted, but I used a 250 ohm resistor in the cathode of the 1625s and then  cathode 
keyed the VFO by slaving a 2.5 MHh choke for the 1626 cathode to ground  and 
putting a ,01 cap between the cathode and the VFO coil tap (a trick I found  
in one of the magazines or surplus conversion books of the time).  While  used 
on CW only, the rig had a nice note and I worked all states on 80 meters on  
one FD exercise with a well trimmed doublet hanging from a couple of really 
tall  redwood trees.  Not a lot of power, but enough
 
    NO TVI either!
