The little OCXO I used for testing goes from about 850ma cold to 200ma
hot (at 5V) and I noticed a very different appearance of the spectrum as
the current dropped -- at high current, the switching spurs were quite
narrow, but as the current dropped (and particularly below some
threshold I don't remember) the spurs widened out quite a bit.
