That amounts to adding only 3.3 pfd worth of TC capacitor with "as high 
negative coefficient of compensation as available" connected in parallel with 
the oscillator tuning cap, then realign.

Supposedly, this cut the drift down from well over 50 Khz, to 200 CPS.

Sounds simple enough.

Anyone know where one can get some negative 750 PPM, or 1500 PPM, TC 
caps?
