[Heathkit] AT-1 question

[Christopher J. Whewell]

Hi, I've got an old Heathkit AT-1 and have gone through it, put it  
back to original configuration, and want to test it.  I also have the  
Heathkit VF-1 VFO I've re-done.   As I understand it, the output of  
the VFO is to be inputted to the location where the crystal is  
connected.

The thought occurred to me that I could possibly set the AT-1 to the  
10 meter band (it only has band settings for 80, 40, 20 and 10m) and  
then tune the VCO to 27.1 MHZ and then send some keyed CW (using a  
really crappy antenna), while keeping total output below 4 watts and  
only desiring to hear the keyed signal on a CB transceiver located  
across the room. In this scenario, I'd be transmitting on the CB band  
at less than 4 watts, a permissible use for CB and at the same time I  
could determine whether the AT-1 is putting out any RF, since that is  
my sole desire.

It seems ok to be on CB bands at less than 4 w. But before I do it I  
thought I'd check on here and see if anyone sees any issues. Once I  
know it's working OK, then I'd be more comfortable to put it on the  
air in the HAM bands.  Any thoughts appreciated....  Thank you.
