What memories! My first Novice contacts (as WN8OSM) were with an Ameco AC-1 and a Heathkit HR-10. I had one Xtal on each of 80m and 40m. I kept working the same novice on 80m each afternoon, because she also was rock bound on that frequency. I kept wanting to meet her for an eyeball QSO, but it never happened. I graduated to a Viking Challenger and then got a Heathkit VF-1 VFO. The frequency agility was exhilarating after Xtal control. I still have the AC-1 and need to get it out and put it back on the air. I may have to get a 7040kHz Xtal. Thanks for the reminder.
