Hi Roger yes you are right of course its the drift within a qso period or even 
an over that is most important. Very Good.

I wonder whether the use of 10MHz as an "IF" would be a possibility? This would 
allow readily available TCXOs or even OCXOs to be used for the LO. I guess the 
split should be enough to allow your filter/diplexor to work. It obviously only 
removes one source of drift, one cant do much about the 817, but that also 
should be less at 10MHz?
