[Elecraft] Xtal Socket - a bit off topic

[Tom Althoff]

And if you take two FT-243 xtals and tape them upside down and back to back 
you can electrically switch between two crystals at a time and flip them 
over mechanically for a total of 4 frequencies (if there is headroom for the 
pins that will be sticking above the top of the crystal that is plugged in).

Us old farts are full of useful Hints and Kinks!
