[Elecraft] Checking VFO accuracy using WWV

[David Anderson]

It is human nature to be disappointed if we don't get the nominal figure, but only the lower limit  even if still within spec.  We wouldn't complain if we got a few Watts more than the 100 Watts, and of course 100 Watts sounds like a lot more than 89 Watts just as $100 does to $89.
