[Milsurplus] Crystals and antennas for the Delco 5300B

[Clare Owens]

Where can I buy good quality crystals in small quantities for my new Delco
5300B?  The receiver and transmitter sockets are the same size, which I
gather is for the mil spec  CR-78A/U or HC-50/U crystal holder, which has a
couple of same sized "equivalents" - or are they?

I'm not too worried about the price but would rather not waste my time on
companies who only sell by the thousands.

I would like to get it on 3885 for AM but need advice on what frequencies
would be good for CW.

I am in NC so east coast nets would probably be best.

Also, I have the three metal (8mm film) spools with the antenna wires and
the feed line but how well does this baby work with a random wire and a
counterpoise - anybody have experience with that?

Thanks,

Clare  N2RJB
