Back in 1964, my novice rig was a DX-20, basically the same as the HX-11. By mistake I called CQ in the tune position one time and was surprised that a station returned my call.  That’s when I realized I could work stations merely by running the oscillator stage.  No more playing around in the tune position after that, as I was using that switch as a code practice feature.  LOL
