[Elecraft] Copying CW and Pitch

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Just a personal observation, but for me, anyway, the optimum pitch varies.

What seemed optimum yesterday is different today.

What seemed optimum this morning won't be optimum this evening.

What seemed optimum on one rig is not optimum on another rig.

What seemed optimum on 20 meters is not optimum on 80 meters.

What seemed optimum from speakers won't be optimum from headphones.

And most importantly, what seemed optimum during one QSO won't 
necessarily be optimum during the next QSO.

That's why RIT is such a valuable receiver accessory.  After zeroing the 
transmitter to the incoming signal, the RIT is adjusted for wherever the 
peak seems to be at that given moment.

And continual re-adjustment may be necessary as QSB, QRN, signal 
polarity, signal drifting, and other factors come into play.

For me, anyway, that's the way it seems to work.
