[Boatanchors] A short Vent

[David C. Hallam]

Has the art of using the tuning knob been lost?  Being a boat anchor 
operator occasionally I may not be exactly zero beat when I return a 
call to another station.  I try my best but sometimes.  I realize that 
for net operation or part of a group you need to be on frequency.  But 
in a one on one QSO can't the other operator touch the tuning slightly 
to tune my transmitted signal?  I will retune my receiver if he comes 
back slightly off of mine.  Can a few 10s of Hz make that much 
difference.  I started in the rock bound CW era where you never knew 
where the other signal would be.
