[Elecraft] KX2 Drift During Field Day

[WILLIE BABER]

 1 hz? My hallicrafters crystal controlled oscillator was rated less than 400 hz an hour drift after warm- up (it will do much better than that after 1 hour of warmup), That was considered very stable in 1962. I still use it in short qsos where I barely hear 10 hz of drift in 5 minutes, after an one hour warmup. 

How soon we forget!
