Since the output stage is a common emitter stage with series resistive feedback in the emitter, it will produce higher distortion with high impedance loads due the increased collector voltage swing and subsequent larger non linear collector base capacitance modulation combined with the higher collector impedance.

High impedance loads should also produce smaller output stage input impedance variation (and consequently greater lower pull) due to the Early effect and the corresponding smaller absolute variation in the collector impedance for a given percentage change in load impedance (provided of course that the corresponding greater collector base swing doesnt substantially increase the effective value of Early coefficient). However the difficulty of achieving a high impedance (greater than 1 K or so) load with high stability at 10MHz shouldn't be underestimated.

The HP10811's frequency being as sensitive to load as it is.
For the best short and long term frequency stability and Allan noise
performance (and spectrum purity), does the 10811 osc work best if driving a
high impedance or a 50 ohm load ... or other?
