[Elecraft] Zero beating

Sun Jan 20 13:33:00 2002

Actually, I have found that for net operations it's useful to be very close
to the NCS frequency but not EXACTLY on it.

Otherwise, it makes it difficult for those monitoring the net to distinguish
NCS's signal from the others.   Just as phone ops have different voices, I
find it useful for the various stations on a net to have slightly different
pitches.

My reply was in the context of CW traffic ops -- the closer to NCS, the
better.
