[Milsurplus] Smart People: Drive this Crystal Oscillator

Need you people smarter than me again.

This is a crystal oscillator stage using a VT-25 (45 Special).

I need a circuit which uses a programmable clock oscillator
as a signal source to drive this stage to full output.
Here is the spec sheet for the oscillator:

Available power busses:  
6 VDC < 2 Amps,  12 VDC < 15 Amps.

I mean this kindly and respectfully:  
Don't need "better ideas,"  digital solutions,
comments on why it won't work, noise, jitter, etc.
*The circuit must use this oscillator as sig source.*

I know it can be done because just taking the naked
output of the oscillator chip through a 16: 1 voltage
balun will drive it to about half output.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for a practical 
driver that can be built on the bench of an average 
doofuss like me.  I cannot make printed circuit boards.
