Wow, that reminds me of my old Novice Roundup days.  I had a couple 
crystals for the 40m Novice band and a couple for the 15m Novice band.  

When I upgraded to General, I didn't have a VFO right away so I used the 
two crystals that worked on 15m (X3) on 40m.  I think they were 7042 and 
7061.  I may still have those crystals.
