[time-nuts] High end OCXO alternatives (or maybe an high perf Rb ?)

[Azelio Boriani]

Actually on the usual auction site there is a (they say) BVA-like 5MHz
oscillator from QuartzLock (item 150712824699). Of course it is not clear
if this BVA-like refers to the dimensions of the unit or the resonator
technology. From the pictures I can't figure out a model number...
