   I disagree with anyone who feels you shudn't at
least get "close", now to me thats 100 to 125hz. And
IF someone feels like there is more than enuff room
for everyone regardless of whether or not you are zero
beat, then you obviously haven't herd the bunches of
cw qso's spread out by 500hz to 1khz, its maddening.
And for the nets, you are "supposed" to zero beat the
net control station, apparently not many realize they
are to zero the ncs..
   I think its got a lot to do with RIT's not being
reset and left wherever they were from the last time.?
This is not a science and being exact isn't necessary
but being "close" is a requirement in my book.
   73 and good zeroing.
