[Hammarlund] SP-600JX crystals

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

I sent this note out a while back, but didn't get enough of a consensus to
act on it. I'll try again:

We can order custom crystals from JAN Crystal in Florida that will work in
the SP-600JX oscillator unit. By the time we finish with handling and
postage and trouble, they are about $15 each. If we can settle on a group of
frequencies, I am willing to do the footwork (network?) to make it happen.
It takes 6-8 weeks to receive the crystals. Note that that means $90 for a
full set of 6 (gulp!). I would want to get 4 or 5 other folks to go in on
this before it is worth the hassle.

Personally, I am partial to Government broadcasting, such as BBC, CBC, Radio
Netherlands, DW, NHK and the like. Other people have suggested WWV, but I'm
not sure why we need a crystal for that.

BBC     5975, 9915
RCI     5960, 9640
DW      9640, 9670
Netherlands 6045, 9860
NHK     9145, 9505, 6120

It's hard to get it down to 6.

So - any takers?
