Re: LF: RE: Simple transverter for 472kHz

[N1BUG <paul@n1bug.com>]

My only comment is that the ones I have heard seem to consistently
drift 1 to 2 Hz during a 2 minute WSPR transmission. So if you
wanted to use one for something like slow DFCW on LF, you would
probably have to do some work to stabilize it.
