Built this one and works very well - with the exception of the oscillator.
Stability not adequate for QRSS30  - works fine for QRSS3. Work on the osc.
with a thermistor or ? ? ? would make it a winner.

Also have built the excellent low frequency converter as shown in Lowdon,
"A High Performance Low Frequency Converter for 1996" by Tim Brannon, KF5CQ.
Definitely one of the best I have used - right down to DC - but again, I
have had trouble stabilizing the oscillator for real QRSS.
