Really. Whatever frequency the spots report, EVERYBODY (well, almost) calls
on that freq., whether that is my exact frequency or not, making them
impossible (well, almost) to differentiate. THAT'S the problem.
I daresay most of us old-timers know that.

I would suggest that newcomers stick with one favourite pitch. Your ear
will soon get used to it, and tuning for 'zero beat' will become automatic.

Funny how 'zero beat' means something different today compared to years ago.

Respectfully submitted,
