Rob,
I opened the shack window, listened by ear for WWV on 10 meg,
zerobeating my calibrated brain with my Icom 7200 receiver it was
spot on ;-) naturally assuming that my radio transmits on exactly
the same frequency, it receives on.....it SHOULD be right!
Yeah well, its not quite like that....I just have a 3 month old radio
and hope its close to the mark ;-) At least its stable but I am
showing some stations with a zero offset to me. The SCS TNC produces
the beacons based on the decoded signal.
