Ed,

Not sure what the normal xtal oscillator stability should be. No experience
with oscillators other than this one and it appears to be under .2 Hz over a
weeks time. I'm referring to the divided down freq (185.300), not the xtal
freq. Is that what "your couple of Hz" refers to, as well? If so, this would
be a bit large for QRSS60, where the whole ARGO window is about 3Hz. QRSS30
wouldn't be too bad.

>> With QRSS (very slow cw) it shouldn't be that hard to be up and running.
>> Just a little $1 xtal and a 4-component Fet ocillator stage it connects
to
>> is plenty stable. Do it!
 
>I have a bit better than that, I think.  However, the probable daily

>Will try to get something going, and try some listening although this is
such a noisy
location I don't have much hope there.

Good!

Bill
