The two 100p might be slightly too high for the 18p crystal I'm using,

Hi Ben, Thanks. What is the nominal setting of the cap in series with the
crystal? 18pf or so?

The "varicap" is actually a red LED, which G0UPL characterized as about
30p down to about 20p over 0..5V:

Do you have any info on the crystal, such as make and model?

It's a Digi-Key X231-ND, mfg p/n ECS-250-18-4-F. Digikey has the
datasheet. I think the ESR was 40 ohms.

Would you like me to post the results to my web site?

Sure.
