We used to fly those as a beacon on our high altitude balloons.

used 28.322 one. on ten meters and  full sized dipole with no matching or anything.

when at 100,000 feet it was heard over 400 miles away!

source flown under my drone Here is a short video showing some of the small signal 
sources I have built and how I can fly them under my drone for testing my RX antennas 
on 160m.Using these simple clock oscillators as a 160m signal source is not new, but 
I show a couple of small units I built up using the old legacy DIP cans as well as a 
SMD that can be flown under my small Mavic Mini drone.I include some PCB Gerber files 
and a BOM.https://youtu.be/EGAIrhGG51Y73, de steve ve6wzSent from Mail for
