Same here.

I watched Kan QSY to 14195 to talk with someone about the
drift problem (actually, just drifting up and down, not up
always).  And then came back and operated another hour
until 1am Pacific time.

When he came back, he was still drifting.  He did ask if
he was drifting, so I am sure that is why he QSY'ed to 14195
earlier.

In the heat of the chase, I forgot to note if the shift towards
the higher frequency was correlated with how long he last transmitted.
That would indicated a heat problem.

I apologize for transmitting on his frequency for a while.
Came home from dinner, hear a huge pile, then set up the two modems
to copy split.  I changed VFOs to find if I can get better copy
with one or the other (yes, Timewave was better than HAL DSP-4100)
and forgot that when I swapped VFO's the transmitting VFO didn't
move.  I finally saw "AA6TY UP" from an unknown friend friend (who
I hope is still a friend, HI HI).

Well, time to return to the Bay Area for the work week, so I will miss
RTTY for Ducie this time around.  GL to those still trying.
