Thanks to Eric for the reference to Lyles good Epson Oscilator article. 
Turns out that a drop in Vcc from 6v to 2v produces an increase of ~ 0.3 
ppm. This is ~0.5 Hz at 1.704 MHz for the Medfer application and ~5 Hz at 
18.572 which approximates the Hifer application.

Lyle: Was this a quick change in frequency or one relating to an internal 
heating effect (or both)? I noticed that the input power drops considerably 
for the 6v to 2v Vcc change.
