[Morrow] Adapting HC6 to FT-243

[David Colburn]

If I build a HC6 - FT-243 adapter is there any chance this might inject
enough capacitance to pull the old modified Pierce oscillator in the
Morrow, or were those circuit designs robust enough to require a whole
lot more to cause any problems?

Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e
