Rest assured i have the feelers out for frequency stability.... Any ideas where i can get some data? Your questions and thoughts are always valuable to me, i do take them on.

Corona temperature inversion is not illogical at all... If you take all facts into account. If I were you I wouldn't flatter myself too much - many astro-physicists are working on the issue, and they certainly know more than both of you about this.
Acoustic shock waves can produce it. Acceleration of plasma in strong magnetic field of the sunspots also could be the cause.
BTW, the energy density in corona and chromosphere is hugely different (values in corona are MUCH smaller... Yes, the temperature is higher but the corona mass density is minuscule compared to photosphere.. which rules out your claim that energy source is outside of Sun).
Back to the frequency stability: I am RF hardware engineer, not a physicist.
And I know from experience ("experiment" as you EU people would understand it) how hard it is to obtain numbers only around 0.1ppm - almost everything around such an oscillator has to be controlled and stabilised, and, again, the resonator is still MECHANICAL (crystal). So, I simply cant imagine how to get even close to this lousy number (10^-7) with a huge plasma cloud exposed to all sorts of elements that can affect it. No way..
As I mentioned earlier, if it HAS to be an oscillator (for whatever reason.. and I simply can't imagine what that reason might be.. perhaps because neutron stars can't exist?... but they can, unfortunately
.... white dwarfs (larger compact objects) are observed directly.. neutron stars (next step in compactness) were detected indirectly (so far) by the effects they have on their companion), then LGM (Little Green Men) contraption is much more plausible explanation
(BTW, this was one of the first thoughts that came to mind to discoverers.. I clearly remember the excitement when reading the first reports and speculations about possible nature of those sources)
