Kinda short notice, but activity any lowfer should be able to get better 
then 1 Hz accuracy..

As most of us know its one thing to practice on WWV or CHU and totally 
another to find and measure the frequency of an unknown signal in a 
short time period.  So with that in mind I though it would be fun to do 
some practice FMT's.
 
I have been running tests with Joe KM1P in Boston, and we think 80 
meters would be the best band for general coverage from the central 
USA.  Joe, thanks for all your help! 
 
The first frequency measuring test will be Thursday March 29 at 
02:30 UTC (Wednesday nite local time).  I will use a little different 
format than W1AW. There will be a single two minute key down period.  
There will be at least a 10 second silent time before and after the two 
minute key down.The frequency will be near 3550000 Hz.
 
Send your results to k5cm-2 at suddenlink.net <mailto:k5cm-2 at suddenlink.net>.
I will post the TX Frequency and best readings on my website at
http://pages.suddenlink.net/k5cm
 
My accuracy will not be as good as Mike WA6ZTY, but should be at least 
as good, and hopefully better, than W1AW.
