I still need to perfect my cornball antenna system.

ICM in Oklahoma still makes them.

You could always buy or build a VFO (or a stable signal generator) and mark
the frequencies you need to set it to for each band

Interesting idea?? If I did this, would it be connected directly to
the crystal socket? The radio has an internal VFO, but it comes after
each crystal.
