i am loath to cross post, but there has been some interesting work by
nick, measuring the phase noise of VFOs on the bitx list that might
interest people here. here is the link:

he also did work on homebrew mixers which he has posted here

the surprising result is with the germanium diodes. and that, the
1N4148s don't seem to do too badly either.
