Well, I did something similar. In those days I had a national ncx 200,
kindof the five band version of the nc3. All I had for knowing where I
was was an old tube 100 kc xtal calibrator. I would just go to the gop of
the band, as far as the knob would turn and count markers and turns of the
knob. Well, I decided to call cq one afternoon. I called and called, no
answer. I thought, boy the band is sure quiet, so I rechecked where I was
and I was clear down in the cw band, a hundred kc below the phone band. I
dreaded getting the mail for weeks.
