I thought when I was a novice we couldn't use VFOs on transmit.

Jan,
The HW-16 was a crystal controlled transmitter only - no receive capability.
Yes, there was a time when transceivers did not exist, and many
transmitters did not come with a VFO. Many VFOs were external to the
transmitter.

Err, WAYNE - - there is some question as to the contents of the latest

You write: armed with a dozen or so crusty FT-243 crystals for my Heath
HW-16 .... (Away from "where" was a poorly answered question, as my
Hallicrafters receiver dial wasn't exactly digital.)
QUESTION: Did your Heathkit HW-16 not have a tune-able receiver? So, why
the Hallicrafters mention ??
Then you continue with: Fortunately I soon acquired an outboard VFO, a
life-changing addition to my station. Jealous friends doubled up on
their paper routes to pay for their own. Girls suddenly paid more
attention to me.
QUESTION: What do an outboard VFO and ... /Girls suddenly paid more
attention to me/. .... have to do with CW??
Nice write-up about CW Spotting
