Sounds perfectly reasonable to me but these days who knows what "reasonable" is?

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.
