I wasn't around for that time, though my Dad remembered it and used
to talk about it a bit. Of course, when I got my ticket, I used his
equipment. The rx was a Hammarlund HQ-170A and I learned to tune in
SSB using a BFO. I have always arrogantly sneered at the term
"clarifier," believing it to be uncouth and a term used mainly by the
benighted. :)

In this period AM was the predominant phone mode period. SSB was the new kid
on the block. And most of us were receiving SSB on normal (non-SSB)
recievers by tweaking the BFO.
Now they make SSB rigs with a "CLARIFER". I guse that is just an adjustble
BFO!
