I recently bought a 2-C with 2-CQ and a 2-NT to complete the package.
I have two Eico VFOs, at least one WRL-755, and a Viking Mobile VFO
and I forget what others may be in the garage. The WRL-755 I built
back around 1955 was VERY stable.
Currently, one of the Eicos sits atop the 2-CQ. These are station #3
at the current time, but only one serviceable multi-band Alpha-Delta
DX-CC dipole.
Station #1 is an Icom IC-7410 and #2 is an IC-746.
I haven't actually put them on the air yet. Can't find my round tuit!
I got an FCC notice myself. I misread the dial of the 755 and called
CQ on 7150, having thought I was on 7250. My answer to FCC stated just
that and my corrective action would be to be more careful in reading
the VFO dial! Nothing more heard!
