Yes. Then we switched the 14m back from the rubidium to a common 5 MHz
synch (maser) and the fringes on the 5 Jy source were just a little stronger.

Yes. First off the rubidium 10 MHz drifted 36 degrees in 5 minutes. Then
after a few slight twists of a trim pot the phase drifted only 180
degrees over 2 or more hours. This was viewing both 10 MHz waveforms on a
dual trace cro. No jitter was visible.

regards,
Brett.
