Brian, exactly !
If it is such a chore to zero beat a CW station, how did we ever do it when we did not have all these "aids". I do in fact ponder a bit in zeroing an SSB station sometimes on a net freq when it seems to me he may be 10 cycles or so off. But CW is just no sweat.
I am amazed at some reflectors ( I also read the Tentec and IC-7700 reflector, Alpha reflectors, ACOM reflectors) when folks seem to be confused by mike gain controls, rf output controls, antenna jacks. Good Grief ! I am convinced that some of these folks could not pass the novice exam I took in 1957, and they have extra class calls. Even an understanding of ohm's law seems to escape some folks, and I am sure some extra class licensees could not build a dipole. But I am getting off the subject.
Getting close rather than getting precisely on a CW station has its advantage since you want a bit of separation from all others that may be calling a station. Dont sweat the small stuff.
