Many of you wrote very detailed replies. In general, the advice tended to indicate that VFO's are out, for anything but straight CW, while crystals/mixed can provide reasonable stability for short QRSS work (QRSS3-10). For long duration QRSS, DDS stability / frequency setting will be required. Thanks again...you have all given me much to think about! Steve / VE7SL
