Roger, Jim, Marcus, LF

I shall try to stabilize the shack temperature and keep frequency drift to a minimum.

The new TX uses a 10.000 MHz oscillator followed by a G4JNT divider (RadCom Sept 2010)
Thus I can transmit frequencies of 10.000 MHZ divided by even numbers e.g. 1112, 1114, 1116  . . .

I intend to build an off-air standard, 10 MHz output and locked to Droitwich (198 kHz) but the PLL IC's
have taken weeks to arrive (from Korea via E-Bay).

My TX OCXO is an ex-equipment unit (from China via E-Bay)

PIEZO, Carlisle, PA.
Mod 29201326
10.000 MHZ

I must confess that I'd assumed that the frequency stability with changing ambient temperatures would be
better than it seems to be.

Hi Chris, what sort of 10 MHz OCXO do you have? The little canned industrial types (eg. http://www.kvg-gmbh.de/10.0.html?&L=3 ) will stay within about a couple of ppb over hours, translating to some 10 microHz at VLF.

The stability of "within a few mHz" could be a problem for those of us using extremely narrow Spectrum Lab settings to dig your signal out if the noise Chris. This is where absolute locking to a GPS source is so valuable as one can screw the bandwidth right down. A few mHz could mean the carrier drifts and is not detected. Still, I'll be looking!
