I've often wondered what the purpose of optional high stability reference oscillators in HF rigs is. A couple hertz between friends on CW, SSB, or AM isn't noticeable. Even PSK can handle slow drift quite well. Is there some other mystery mode or application that requires the rubidium oscillator-like stability people seem to spend money on and crave? (Folks using transverters on microwave bands??)
