When I got my first Knight-kit VFO, I got a lot of guffaws from my local crowd because my signal had a chirp. I worked with my elmer (first class commercial license and chief engineer at WCTT) to solve the problem with keying the VFO, and was so proud of the clean signal when I was done. No clicks, no chirps, no mush. That was 1958 and all the hams I knew, were well informed about what a clean signal was. Mushy, clicky, youpy, chirpy signals got ridiculed, no less then than now. But maybe things were different in Kentucky??
