Gaussian describes the shape of the QRP frequency distribution *and* the topology of most SOTA peaks. So please, if you don't make it to the top, move off frequency in proportion :)

I take that to mean we should imagine a Gaussian distribution of activity above and below this center. I imagine a standard deviation of perhaps 500 Hz, but that's just me.
