Build an oscillator!

Put it on-air!

Stop worrying about seriously-marginal spectral-purity issues.

Go out and work the world!
I must say I agree with these sentiments, it's very easy to overthink a project, and get nothing done, I got some interesting results in the past with modulated 807 xtal controlled power oscillators, around 20W output. Goodness only know what the phase noise, etc was like! But it got the job done, and that is waht mattered.

Sol sodder it up, suck it, and see!
