After 8 hours of "cooking without the meter bulb" the receiver has drifted
less than 100 cycles (50-80 cycles nominally) , far better stability than
before. To preclude any heating from the finals during long transmit periods
I am going to experiment with moving the finals to the outside of the year
of the case. I'll post my results here for anyone who is interested.

I believe I'll continue to drift the same amount as before. ;-)
