Channel 10 swap. It was a real boon to gnd-to-air in those days.

Hi Gene  - I did the same thing with my old CB radio.  Swapped a receive crystal into the TX, presto:  10 meters.  Some tinkering with CB that got me started in ham radio...CB radio on 10 meters<https://www.n6cc.com/cb-radio-how-i-learned-electronics/>

I had a CAP-issued CB rig in my dorm room in college in the early 70s. I got it to operate on 26.620 by swapping TX and RX crystals for one channel (I forget which one). Worked like a champ, along with a base loaded whip antenna I bolted to the aluminum window frame, when I checked into the weekly PA Wing nets.
