Thanks very much for the tips. I have already decided to purchase the QST's
I'm looking for on CDROM. I wonder if CQ offers back issues in electronic
format...I'd have to bop over to their web site and see.

Hello, All:

Rumor has it that QST featured an article in a January/1930 or
January/1935
issue on the subject of homebrew transmitter crystals - how cut, lap, and
mount them. If anyone has QST on CDROM for those years, I'd sure
appreciate
if you could take a look.

Remove XXX's and ZZZ's if you wish to reply directly, and thanks.

Here's a few more pointers:

CQ 01/49 p. 37 Grinding xtals simplified
CQ 11/57 p. 74 How to grind xtals
CQ 10/65 p. 52 Grinding surplus xtals
QST 02/54 p. 45 Using grid-dipper as aid to xtal grinding
QST 06/58 p. 19 Grinding xtals

Pete,

I have my Dad's grinding stuff, but don't do it. One thing to keep in
mind, and I don't know the details, but remember that the crystal activity
is effected by the edges. Grinding the edges is one of the more esoteric
aspects.
