40 Meter Novice Band circa 1965

[Brian Carling]

Yep - I enjoyed reading this. It hasn't been discussed much.

Of course it is still perfectly legitimate to run CW in the
7150 to 7200 kcs. range.... I sometimes check up there or 
put out a CQ and every once in a while someone 
will answer...

I have a load of crystals in that range, and I know others 
must have them too. Some are still new in their boxes 
and look like they were not used. PR, JAN, TEXAS, 
all neat old brands. Here's my list:

> Hi Fellas,

> Anyone remember the frequency range for the 40 meter novice band in 1965?  I found an old Texas crystal with the yellow and red paper sticker marked 7175 KC.   I think it is only one I had on 40 meters as a novice being that my high school budget was a max of 2 figures.  BTW, I wonder where Texas Crystal got all those FT243 cases.  Military surplus ?  And yep, I am fortunate to still have my original straight key.  Can't beat this hobby with a stick, can we.  What good memories.
