[Elecraft] OT - my history of "zero beating"

Although my elmer told me of similar tales when he was starting out, he
taught me that the purpose of at least "near" zero-beating was to not
take up more bandwidth than necessary.  You're not running a full-duplex
conversation in CW, and so sharing 1 kHz or less is entirely adequate.

He also taught me, however, that is was your polite obligation to tune
around your transmit frequency a bit to listen for any takers who
weren't quite on your frequency.
