Hi,
OK on those FCC QSLs. Back in the 50s they really did watch the edges of
the ham bans. I had a crystal that was labeled as 3752, 2 khz inside the
novice band. However, the FCC disagreed, they said it was on 3749.97
khz. They asked me what I was going to do about it and I reported that I
was not going to use that crystal anymore. That seemed to work.
By the way, I was using a Heathkit A T 1 and it was a 4 band rig. I think
it covered 75, 40, 20 and either 15 or 10 meters. The old transmitter is
now in the garage someware lost in the junk. I also used the companion
reciever that I had built, the A R-1 as I remember. It was not a very good
reciever and a tough one to put together and aline. In my novice days I
was KN6JIG.
