I also top post...
Consider the Symmetricom model X72 Rb. I can fit 2 each in my shirt pocket.
Some variants are programmable and spec'd for 12 VDC operation.
I did have problems with one unit that had microphonics when used
with a DEMI/N5AC microwave LO synthesizer in a DEMI 10 GHz transverter.
For a 20 MHz reference used in a HF transceiver I would consider a ISO
Temp TC/VCXO at 10 MHz
and double it with suitable filtering. Provide a pot to easily "net" it
as well
as a additional 10/20 MHz output to feed the counter.
The ISOTemps have been going for 30-50$, so it is a cost effective
solution and
it may be stable enough for any HF operation. If used with a transverter,
you will still have to fight that LO drift. Unless it is synchronized
with the 10/20 MHz reference.

For what it is worth, I agree 100%. I have also been top posting for over 30
years.
A lot of times when I open a thread, and, do not see anything but previous
posts, I delete the whole thing. Why should I go all the way to the bottom
to see what someone may have said, or, to even see if there is something
there. Unfortunately, I probably miss out on some good info this way, but, I
do not have the patience to sort through it all. If I have been following
the threads then I know what has been said anyway. If I have not, the latest
top reply might peak my interest.
Another thing that really annoys me is when people comment inside of a
previous post, about every paragraph/sentence or so. Most of the time it is
difficult to tell what was the previous post and when the new response
begins.
Just put it all on top. Regards - Mike

I couldn't resist commenting about how top posting annoys you.
Interestingly, I have always top posted ever since my first email way, way
back. Everyone else I dealt with in business did it that way. It wasn't
until I got involved with groups like this, that it apparently became a
problem.
It always seemed logical to me to have the answers to a question at the top
i.e. the most recent comment in the chain.
No doubt I'll get a lot of replies both top and bottom about this...
:-)
