The external reference oscillator works fine in quiet weather.
See previous post for more info.
With rain and gusts of wind the simple solution showed its weakness.
The oscillator is not buffered, so any change of load will change the frequency enough to create chirping sounds on the OSCAR 100 beacon.
In short, a buffer stage is needed, and the outdoor part of the installation needs to be made a bit more rigid.
The outdoor part is relatively easily done, and some more outdoor work was necessary, anyway.
For the addition of the buffer stage a bit more work is needed, with some down time for the receiver.
So, when there is time, I will need to get to work on that.
... More solder smoke needed.
