Far more stable than cutting your own crystal, can't imagine why you think making one yourself would
be more stable than a good surplus xtal and oven.

...And it's disciplined to GPS as well. Can't get much more stable
than that. 'Bout the same as a cesium standard, if I recall correctly.

I wish to make a master oscillator for the shack, and am considering
cutting my own crystals in order to reduce ageing. Is there a source
of raw material?

Also, for temperature compensation, I am considering the use of bi-metals.
(I've never seen one, but what is the mechanism used in Oxley's
Tempatrimmer?)

So much for Radio Amateurs 'knowing' their hobby. The Cb'er makes himself
known when he blurts out a foolish question on this NG.

A real radio amateur would build and set up their own network of GPS
satellites ;-)

Ahhhh, you've unearthed the philosopher's stone.
Any left-over scraps to spare for me?
I'm in great need and will collect.
Are you in the Call Book?
