[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[Edward R Cole]

These days my ear is perfectly tuned to 1000-Hz.  I can whistle it 
within a few Hz.  45 years of working on radios with 1000-Hz tone modulation.

I usually tune CW pitch somewhere near 550 to 700 Hz for weak-signal 
copying (SNR=0).

 > 440 Hz is A above middle-C.  Middle C is 261.6 Hz.

Yes.  I believe that's the "universal orchestral tuning pitch."

My XYL and I have a running joke.  When we go to anything musical, and the
orchestra commences tuning, I ask "What's that?"  She says "A" and 
we're ready to
enjoy another performance.
