Sounds like a lot of hard work to me....
My twin VXO didn't get me covered with quartz dust (bit difficult
with HC25U crystals...). The only thing which took a little time was
picking the right inductor to pull the 5.9MHz one down to 5.899 to
allow me to get full coverage (and more) by pulling the 6.4MHz one up
with a 50pF variable.
See your email has had results and I now here G3YXM on that frequency
working you... both nice signals, 599 on the meter Colin.
