[Milsurplus] Wilcox CW3 BFO problem

Why does that ALWAYS happen? There are coarse and fine frequency adjustments
accessible from the top of the BFO coil. Breathed on the coarse adjust and
got vicious heterodyne squeals. I was looking at the voltage on the BFO
cathode, was too small to see with hum on top of it.

So it's all working now. I notice that although it's a "CW" receiver, the
6dB bandwidth is about 4kHz.
