[Elecraft] CW Pitch Resolution

[Barry]

I don't have perfect pitch, but I have "pretty good" pitch.  For example, I
can tune in a RTTY signal without any tuning aids.

As a high speed CW guy, I once experimented with various base frequencies to
see if it affected my upper speed limit.  My hypothesis was since square
waves are odd harmonic multiples, perhaps I could push up the speed where
dits started to blend together by using a lower frequency.  This would allow
me to hear the 7th, 9th, 11th, etc. harmonics better and put a sharper edge
on the waveform.  It didn't work.

Personally, I prefer in the 550-600 Hz range.  When I was a kid, I used to
listen to 750 Hz or so.
