That's why the frequency reference runs hot (or lives in a 
semi-controlled thermal environment), the amps/pre-amps live in 
unconditioned space, but the radio itself is kept in the conditioned 
space. Bonus points if you can remote the amp without too much 
complexity.

Truly, a rubidium frequency standard is an annoying device. Especially 
when it puts out 50W and expects to be able to give off a certain amount 
of heat, while internally generating a certain amount of heat to hold a 
temperature. AKA The World's Most Expensive Thermometer. And accurate, 
too. :D

... well, if you have a way to compare it against other standards of 
similar quality.
