[Drake] 2-NT VFO Choice

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!
