[Fists] Doesn't anyone know how to zero-beat anymore?

[Eric Fairbank]

  I agree with you. I'm on the air every evening
calling CQ and it's rare when someone zero-beats on
me. And it's very rare when the person answering is
using a rock-bound QRP rig. I think most people just
don't understand what it means and why they should do
it. I did a web page a while back explaining how to
zero-beat:
