The E1938A oven has exceptionally high thermal gain so variations in the OCXO frequency due to ambient temperature changes may well be insignificant. Before proposing drastic/dangerous measures David should attempt to measure the E1938A frequency variations as a function if temperature to see if the frequency change is actually significant. Making such a measurement is likely to be an extremely difficult/challenging task. Even so measurement beats speculation everytime.
