[Drake] 2-NT VFO Choice

[Dennis Monticelli]

I will put in a vote for the Heath HG-10B.  It is a good design that
performs well.

As for pink tickets.  I got one as a novice for putting a strong second
harmonic into Seattle from a homebrew rig I faithfully built from an
Electronics Illustrated.  I too was certain my 16 yr old life had come to
an end.  No high school graduation, no college, felon for life, etc.  But I
was also thrilled because Seattle was my best DX to date!
