Novice Crystals
I was digging around in a junkbox and came upon this fancy Cross sleeved box:
Opening it revealed the crystals I used with the HW-16 as a Novice (1972).
I think I got the 7050 kHz at AES, used it on mostly 21,150 kHz. The aluminum crystal was a color burst from an old TV (I didn't have an 80 meter antenna, just used it for alignment). The other 4 were my main 40 meter Novice band crystals - JAN didn't mark as well as Crystek so I taped the frequencies on the back:
When I got my General I borrowed a Knight VFO from the Nicolet High School radio club, I didn't key the VFO so that was kind of the end of break-in for me as the VFO was LOUD. Ah, the good old days ! :)
