That's how we knew the band was open! Then we'd disassemble the xtals and soak em in acid for a few minutes to tweak them up 3 or 5 KC. I had a whole cigar box full ( I think I still have them) Actually I used the ARC5 receiver. I had a transmitter but the PS was more work than I wanted at the time, so I built a 1 tube 6L6 rig. Got a lot of attention from the key clicks for a few days - great way to meet local hams. One of them sold me a Johnson Ranger 75W cw/AM rig the rest is history. I had one of those wonderful 1year novice licenses. Had to take my general in Denver since I went to College in CO a few months later.
