Decent signal on the KFS omni kiwi at 4095.05 KHz right now

The RF Workbench / Re: Variable frequency oscillator design for HF

I don't know how you are testing them but crystals can be designed to operate properly in either a series or parallel resonance mode

I gave the thread a quick read through but will comment on one thing for now. If a good IRF510 is needed, don't buy it on ebay. I paid 82 cents each for the parts from Mouser and all were good so who cares if they cost more than the really cheap/crappy ones from other sources?

The AD9833 is one easy way to break free from fixed crystals. I have one on the bench and use an Arduino "Nano" board to control it. There's lots of software already available. It's easier to use the square wave output and filter it as the board's sine wave out is fairly poor quality.
If you want something you can just use without software and a microcontroller there are modules with everything on the board to allow it to act as a VFO. Depends on your skills and budget as well as what you define as simple

I have a pretty good signal from DW right now at home. It seems February is a great month for good copy.

It's interesting to see the air temp keep dropping but there is a longer lag for the iTMP numbers to close the gap

Despite a lousy local noise floor I am hearing the A beacon here at home right now

last Friday I was out in the southern back country of Death Valley. I put up a long wire and attached the KX3 and heard CS quite well.

The "A" beacon is making it over some local noise with a good signal here on the KX3
