I'm a little older than you.
I built a 6AQ5 osc powered
by a 240 volt photo flash battery.
4 flashlight batteries lite the filaments.
ordered Peterson 3748 khz crystal from
allied electronics. 2 watts out on good day.

My cousin was a ham,
When he married and moved out of my
GrandMothers house I found a collection of "Popular Electronics".
My first transmitter was a Poptronics article. It had a single 6V6 tube
functioning as both oscillator and amplifier. The final coil was wound
on
a toilet paper tube. The tuning indicator was a neon bulb. I built it
on a baking tin I stole from my mother. The power supply used a
transformer
from a color TV.
