I already guessed the HW-16 and Larry said no. First, It had a built in
VFO. The HW-16 didn't. Second, It covered 80-10. The HW-16 didn't. Also,
it was CW only (how refreshing). The only rigs I can think of that meet
those requirements are the Johnson Navigator and Lysco 600. The Century
21, 22 comes close but of course they were solid state and were
TRANSCEIVERS. We are looking for TRAMSMITTERS.
SO again, here's the criteria:
1. Must be a transmitter only
2. Must be cw only
3. Must have a built in vfo
4. Must use tubes
