[Lowfer] 10 MHz OCXO for W1TAG sound card calibrator

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

Thanks for the alert Jay!  I bought one to use as a frequency reference 
for portable microwave operating.  I'm trying to upgrade my old plumbing 
microwave transverters with systhized LO units that lock to 10 MHz.  In 
the shack I have access to 10 MHz GPS reference but that isn't practical 
for portable operating.

No one needs a character reference other than from Jay.  However I also 
vouch for Paul's integrity.
