I have been testing a high end medfer the past few days. It is now on
the air sending a pattern that shows up well on either Argo QRSS10, 20
or 30 dot sec mode. The complete transmitter is outside with the
antenna so I have noticed some frequency drift with temperature. So far
the drift has been only a few Hz from a range of 70F to 30F. That will
stay on a QRSS30 screen so I don't think I will try to stabilize it with
an oven. I'll announce the exact frequency tonight at 7 p.m. est (0000
UT). That will give a fair start for the chase and the 1st NC Hi-Medfer
QSL card. The first screen capture identifying the pattern gets the
prestigious QSL :-)
