My very first "dit" on the air was a BC-459 and my first receiver
was a Hallicrafters S-120.  You could hear the whole Novice band at once,
I think.  We didn't mind.  Us "po-boys" only had one or two crystals.
Mine was on 7167 KC.  We rarely called "CQ."  You would tap:
"Dit... DiDiDit...Dit"  and way up or down the band
you'd hear:  "Dit...Dit"  and then send "DE etc." and away you go.
The BC-459 was soon replaced with a Globe Scout 680A,
but I worked all over the place with that S-120.
Guess I "didn't know it wouldn't work."  ;-)
