Fwd: LF: 136KHz

[Andre' Kesteloot]

Alberto,
Another member of AMRAD (Sandy WB5MMB) had kept the message we were discussing.
I agree with you that this places uncommon demands on vfo stability   :-)

  This seems a rather tough requirement to meet on the transmitter side.
   For those of us without cesium or rubidium standards, any idea on how to
   achieve such precision and stability ?
