49,380,000 * 0.0000005 ppm = 24.69 Hz, and actually worse on 6 meters, 
since it's a higher frequency. In any case, it's considerably worse 
that the 1 Hz stated for the standard reference. Is that ppm/degree C, 
over some temperature range, or ? Is the tempco specified for the 
standard reference?
